Authorities in New Jersey and other states are trying to find the source of unidentified drones that have been seen in the skies. The Pentagon says there's no evidence the drones are coming from a foreign adversary, but authorities don't have a clear indication of the source. NBC News' Gadi Schwartz reports.

WASHINGTON — Key House and Senate lawmakers are demanding top federal law enforcement officials immediately brief them about mysterious drone sightings in New Jersey and New York, as the White House downplayed any potential threats to national security or the public. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Thursday he expects to receive a classified briefing about the drones soon, saying it’s “a quandary” and he’s “anxious to find out” more.

“When do we view these as a physical threat or even a security threat that is worthy of taking down?” Smith asked. “And we need clear answers on that.” Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., a member of the Intelligence Committee, told NBC News he received briefings about the drones last week and this week. He called on law enforcement agencies to share more information with the public.
