President-elect Donald Trump recently expressed doubts regarding the recent spate of 'drone sightings' across the Northeast, suggesting that they may not be the work of a foreign power. However, he criticized the Biden administration for not being more transparent about the details of these sightings.
Reports have indicated that federal agencies are under pressure to provide more information about the unexplained sightings in the New York City metropolitan area and beyond. These sightings have been observed over residential neighborhoods, restricted sites, and critical infrastructure. Federal officials have suggested that many of the sightings could be manned aircraft mistakenly identified as drones.
Trump emphasized that the military has the capability to track the origins of these drones, stating, 'Our military knows where they took off from. If it’s a garage, they can go right into that garage. They know where it came from and where it went.' He urged authorities to be more forthcoming with the public about the nature of these sightings.
Expressing skepticism about the possibility of these drones being deployed by an enemy, Trump remarked, 'I can’t imagine it’s the enemy, because if it was the enemy, they would blast it out.' He highlighted the need for transparency, suggesting that the public has a right to know what is happening.
In a lighter moment, Trump mentioned that some of the sightings occurred near his golf course in New Jersey and joked about reconsidering his weekend plans. However, he refrained from confirming whether he had received any intelligence briefings on the drone activity.
The ongoing mystery surrounding the drone sightings continues to raise questions and concerns among the public, with calls for greater clarity and information from government officials.
