Martha MacCallum Can’t Believe John Kirby’s Outrageous Response to Her Question: ‘Why Not Just Take One Down and Figure Out What’s Going On?’

In a jaw-dropping interview with Fox News’ Martha MacCallum, White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby struggled to provide clear answers about a bizarre and alarming series of drone sightings in New Jersey.

MacCallum, unimpressed by Kirby’s evasions, grilled him relentlessly on why the administration hasn’t even bothered to shoot down one of these drones to uncover their origins.

Instead of providing clarity, Kirby fumbled through talking points about “policy options” and “inter-agency conversations.” His repeated refrain of “we don’t know” underscored what critics have described as the Biden administration’s signature approach to crises—delay, deflect, and deny.

During the interview, MacCallum confronted Kirby over his outrageous claim during the White House press briefing, where he brushed off more than 3,000 reports of “car-sized drones” as mere misidentifications of helicopters or airplanes.

Martha MacCallum:
A lot of people were unhappy with that comment you made yesterday and felt like you were telling people they were nuts or that they didn’t know what they were seeing with their own eyes.

John Kirby:
No, not at all, Martha. That’s the farthest thing that I would ever do. I was simply reiterating what the FBI and what the Department of Homeland Security have relayed to us about what they’ve been able to corroborate. We haven’t been able to corroborate everything. I said many of the corroborated sightings have turned out to be piloted aircraft. I didn’t say all of them.

And what I said was those are the ones we were able to corroborate. There’s certainly ones that we have not been able to, and we don’t know the answer to it. And I strongly recommend that for folks that are seeing these things and documenting them to share that as they can with Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, the investigator.

Kirby couldn’t even look at the photographic evidence presented during the interview as he conveniently turned off his monitor to avoid distractions. MacCallum called out the absurdity of the situation, asking how a former admiral and current top White House official could dismiss clear visuals of the drones.

Pentagon Sparks Social Media Uproar After Posting a Bewildering Message on its Website as Suspicious Drones Invade America

The Pentagon on Friday once again illustrated we do not have the best and brightest leading us, as suspicious drones invade sensitive areas across America and on military bases.

As Jim Hoft previously reported, several mysterious drones were spotted flying over New Jersey last week. The drones were spotted over at least 12 counties, prompting mayors to contact the governor and demand answers.

This has raised alarm bells across America, with suspicion a foreign adversary is responsible. Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) claimed on Wednesday that he had sources that Iran is responsible.

“I learned from very high sources, from very qualified sources, Iran launched a mothership a month ago that contains these drones, Van Drew said. “It’s off the east coast of the United States.”

It’s not just New Jersey either. Former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan revealed on Friday that he had personally witnessed several drones over his residence in recent days.

There have also been drone sightings over U.S. Military bases.

The Department of Defense’s dismissive response to these alarming sightings has only inspired anger, mockery, and confusion. Then, on Friday, the agency sent out a so-called “test” message on its website that only raised eyebrows further.

The best way to describe the text is complete utter gibberish.

Drone Crashes into New Jersey Homeowner’s Backyard as Biden Regime Continues to Gaslight Worried Americans

Drones are now making landfall as the Biden regime continues to dismiss concerns regarding potential threats.

The Gateway Pundit on Friday reported that a supposed drone crash on Thursday night sparked a massive search-and-rescue operation in Hillsborough Township. But after nearly 16 hours of searching, officials came up empty-handed, and the operation was called off around noon on Friday.

But that same night, a drone fell out of the sky and crashed into a New Jersey homeowner’s backyard. The news sparked so much alarm that the town’s mayor drove to the scene to examine the site himself.

The New York Post reported that the aircraft fell in a residential area of Pequannock Township in Morris County at roughly 8:45 p.m. Thursday.

The Pequannock Police Department, though, told the Post that they think the drone was not a military or commercial drone but rather more like a “hobby or toy drone.” However, this information has not yet been corroborated.

The Post notes that this news comes as New Jersey police officers warn of possible “copycats” trying to take advantage of America’s panic.

“What we think is it started as some sort of Picatinny Arsenal base surveillance drill or operation but once it exploded online, this became a copycat situation,” one New Jersey police chief speculated.

When The Post arrived at the crash site, the resident whose backyard was ‘victimized’ declined to comment.

Biden Admin Claims It “Cannot Corroborate” Mystery Drone Sightings

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.

‘My mouth dropped’: Drone sightings rattle Maryland residents

Drone concerns are mounting across the country after multiple sightings in New Jersey for the past few weeks. It’s even led to New Jersey lawmakers calling for a limited ban on drone flights until the public receives answers about the sightings.

Now, there have also been sightings in Bowie, Maryland.

“We see at least three to five different drones in the sky,” said Autumn Stasulli, who captured videos of drones outside her Bowie home. “I was shocked. My mouth dropped.”

The discovery came moments after Stasulli said she and her sister were talking about another pair of drone sightings in New Jersey.

She said she’s lived in Bowie her whole life and had never seen a sight like this.

“It was very unsettling afterwards, because I’m like ‘Oh my goodness. It’s happening here in Bowie, Maryland,’” Stasulli said. “Why Bowie? Bowie is such a quiet, quiet town.”

After several sightings reported throughout New Jersey, House members on the Homeland Security subcommittee questioned FBI leaders on Tuesday about the drone sightings.

Pentagon Says No Evidence of Foreign Adversaries as Federal Investigators Remain Baffled by Mystery Drone Sightings

Large, often noisy, and launched from unknown locations by unidentified parties, ongoing sightings of mystery drones over New Jersey remain a problem, according to federal officials who are ramping up efforts to get to the bottom of the matter.

The sightings, which have occurred since mid-November, are currently being investigated by federal agencies that include the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), as well as local and state law enforcement in New Jersey and surrounding states where observations of the mystery drones have occurred.

Speaking from Washington on Wednesday, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh confirmed to reporters that the ongoing drone sightings are not linked to any U.S. military drone activities, while also confirming that the Pentagon currently has no evidence to suggest they are being controlled by foreign actors.

“At this time, we have no evidence that these activities are coming from a foreign entity, or are the work of an adversary,” Singh said yesterday, stating that the DoD was aware of no threats to U.S. military assets resulting from the drone incidents.

Congressman Warns Iranian Mothership Lurking Off Coast Responsible For New Jersey Drone Scare 

Republican Congressman Jefferson Van Drew of New Jersey, a member of both the House Judiciary Committee and the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, told Fox News’ Harris Faulkner around noon that government sources have informed him that mysterious drones in New Jersey skies at night originate from an Iranian “mothership” stationed off the US East Coast. 

“Here’s the real deal Harris …. and I’ve gotten to know people. And from very high sources, very qualified sources, and very responsible sources… I’m going to tell you the real deal: Iran launched a mothership – probably about a month ago that contains these drones and is off the US East Coast,” Van Drew said. 

Van Drew continued, “Know that Iran made a deal with China to purchase drones – motherships and technology to go forward. The sources I know are good.” 

He emphasized, “These drones should be shot down,” adding the military “is on alert with this.”

Alert! The East Coast Is Being Buzzed By “Very Sophisticated” Giant Drones Every Night That “Go Dark” When Approached By U.S. Aircraft

Enormous “mystery drones” are buzzing rooftops and flying freely through the skies in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, and our government is powerless to stop it.  As I discussed yesterday, these drones have been spotted over military facilities, water reservoirs, transportation hubs, police departments and other sensitive installations.  But even though some of these drones are the size of cars, and even though they are buzzing us at rooftop level in some cases, we can’t seem to track them effectively and when our aircraft do approach they “go dark” and disappear.

What in the world is going on?

These drones have been appearing just about every night since mid-November, and there are countless eyewitnesses.

In fact, New Jersey State Senator Doug Steinhardt says that he saw them from his own front porch…

And State Senator Doug Steinhardt says that’s simply not good enough.

“I’d be happy with an explanation that we’ve looked at it, and we don’t have information, or for law enforcement to say it’s an ongoing something or other, you know, and that’s as much as we can tell you, but we’re not even getting that which is unfortunate,” said Steinhardt.

And Steinhardt says he’s not just speaking as a lawmaker, he’s speaking as a witness.

“I walked out of my front porch last night and saw it would look like drone activity to me. I mean, I’ve seen airplanes cross the sky before and this wasn’t that,” he says.

We have never seen anything quite like this before, and people are really starting to freak out.

Many can’t seem to understand why nothing is being done to stop these unidentified drones from doing whatever they want in our airspace.

NJ Gov. Addresses Drones that ‘Go Dark’ When Spotted, Lawmaker Calls for ‘State of Emergency’

New Jersey’s Democrat governor acknowledged public sightings of “sophisticated” drones that “go dark” when viewed, as a state lawmaker has called for issuing a state of emergency over the mystery drones.

Addressing numerous reports over the past few weeks of unexplained drones spotted in the sky, sometimes hovering over critical infrastructure, Gov. Phil Murphy said he’s working with federal agencies to tackle the issue, at the same time assuring the public there’s no threat to public safety.

“The most important point to say is we don’t see any concern for public safety,” Murphy said at a press conference on Monday.

“These are apparently very, as I understand it, very sophisticated. The minute you get eyes on them, they go dark,” the New Jersey governor stated, noting the drones have been spotted over the Picatinny Arsenal military research facility in Rockaway, as well as Trump National Golf Club Bedminster.

“We’re obviously most concerned about sensitive targets and sensitive critical infrastructure,” he said. “See, we’ve got military assets. We’ve got utility assets. We’ve got the president-elect, one of his homes here. This is something we’re taking deadly seriously.”

The governor concluded by telling the press, “If we have news, I’ll let you know the minute we know something,” and encouraging residents to report sightings to law enforcement.

Mystery Drones Invading New Jersey Airspace Are Keeping Officials on Edge as Feds Probe for Answers

Ongoing sightings of mysterious drones in the skies over New Jersey have sparked alarm among residents as officials continue to investigate the odd nightly incursions.

Although authorities maintain that the drones pose no apparent threat to the public, many questions remain about the mysterious objects, and their operators and ultimate purpose remain unknown.

This week, sightings of the small aircraft, which have reportedly been occurring over New Jersey now for several weeks, have extended into surrounding states, with recent observations occurring over Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Brooklyn, New York.

In New Jersey, many of the recent sightings reported by residents have occurred in Morris County, home to the U.S. Army’s Picatinny Arsenal. One of the earliest known sightings of the New Jersey mystery drones occurred there on November 13, when a security officer was reportedly one of the first to have observed the objects.

Since then, at least ten more confirmed sightings have taken place near the arsenal, and seven more potential sightings remain unconfirmed.

In a statement provided to The Debrief, a spokesperson with Picatinny Arsenal said officials there quickly began investigating and increasing outreach and coordination with multiple local, state, and federal organizations after the initial sightings several weeks ago.

“While the source and cause of these aircraft operating in our area remain unknown, we can confirm that they are not the result of any Picatinny Arsenal-related activities,” said Lt. Col. Craig A. Bonham II, Picatinny Arsenal Garrison Commander, in a statement provided to The Debrief.

The investigation into the drone sightings is ongoing, a Picatinny Arsenal spokesperson said on Tuesday.

Several days after the initial sightings, Morris County officials acknowledged that the mystery drones had also been observed by area law enforcement officers on the evening of Monday, November 18.
