White House Says F.A.A. Authorized N.J. Drones: This Was Not the Enemy'
Briefly

Drone sightings reported across New Jersey and nearby states gained significant public attention late last year. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed these were legal drones operated with FAA authorization, counteracting widespread speculation that they posed a threat. Reports from northern New Jersey indicated residents observed strange lights in the sky, triggering various theories including government surveillance and even extraterrestrial activity. An investigation revealed many of these sightings were misidentified commercial or military aircraft, though some drones were indeed used legally for research and hobby activities.
The white house confirmed that the reported drone sightings were legal and authorized by the Federal Aviation Administration, dispelling myths of them being dangerous or enemy crafts.
Public speculation sparked by reported drone sightings included fears that these were government-operated drones, while some resident’s imaginations went as far as attributing them to nonhuman intelligence.
