An 'Iranian mothership' could be behind a series of recent drone sightings in New Jersey, Rep. Jeff Van Drew said in an interview Wednesday citing 'very high sources.' He also called for the drones to be shot down.
As the mystery surrounding numerous sightings of drones in New Jersey and parts of the Philadelphia area continue, a New Jersey congressman says there is ‘circumstantial evidence’ suggesting the drones could be the work of a foreign adversary. Republican Rep. Jeff Van Drew, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, spoke on the recent drone sightings during an interview with Fox News ’ Harris Faulkner.
"These drones should be shot down," Van Drew added. "Whether it was some crazy hobbyist that we can’t imagine, or whether it is Iran – and I think it very possibly could be – they should be shot down." He also added that the U.S. military was ‘on alert’ as the investigation continues. The congressman shared video of his interview on X, formerly Twitter.
