White House National Security Advisor John Kirby claimed Thursday that the government has “not been able to corroborate any of the reported visual sightings” of mystery drones over the east coast.
As we highlighted yesterday, video footage of the drones, predominantly over several New Jersey counties, have gone viral online.
Republican Congressman Jeff Van Drew has claimed that intelligence insiders have told him that Iran is behind the drones and has a “mothership” lurking off the east coast launching the drones.
The Pentagon has rubbished the claim, but has not provided any further explanation of who is operating the car sized aerial vehicles.
Kirby claimed there is no evidence to suggest the drones are a national security threat, but also seemed to dismiss that they are even real.
