Recent sightings of numerous drones flying over New Jersey have sparked concerns among residents and officials alike. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie criticized Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas' dismissal of the drone activity, calling it ridiculous to suggest that it wasn't unusual.

During a recent interview, Christie questioned whether the situation could be classified as mass hysteria, highlighting the lack of clear answers from government officials. Mayorkas had downplayed the concerns, stating that the public had no reason to worry about the drones and that no unusual activity had been observed.

The mystery surrounding the drones has left authorities puzzled, as they have been unable to determine the source or operators of the unmanned aircraft. Reports of drones flying over various parts of New Jersey have raised alarm among residents, with many expressing frustration over the lack of information provided by officials.
