Senior national security and intelligence officials told reporters Saturday that no threats have been identified with the unusual drones spotted in New Jersey.
U.S. national security officials appeared to dispel concerns about the mysterious drones flying over the Northeast in a recent call with reporters, one going as far as describing nationwide uneasiness as 'a slight overreaction.
The FBI official added that investigators have found no evidence of large-scale unmanned drone activity despite the recent uptick in drone activity in recent weeks. 'We're doing our best to find the origin of that specific … those drone activities,' the official said. 'But I think there has been a slight overreaction.
Obviously, we are taking this incredibly seriously at this point,' the NSC official said. 'We have not identified any basis for believing that …. there's any criminal activity involved, that there's any national security threat, that there's any particular public safety threat or that there's a malicious foreign actor involved in these drones.' Fox News' Daniel Scully contributed to this report.
