New Jersey Congressman Wants Drones To Be Shot Down

Many Americans, especially those living in New Jersey want to know why the government seems to be doing so little to deal with the issue of drones flying over New Jersey on a nightly basis… Since mid-November.

It’s also important to note that these drones are the size of large automobiles. They are not the tiny hobby drones variety.

I first wrote about the drones, about nine days ago when hardly anyone was even talking about the drones… Despite the fact That they have been flying on a nightly basis for weeks prior to garnering national attention.

Here’s a link (below) regarding my previous coverage.

The only night that the drones have not flown is Thanksgiving.

Wild rumors and speculation have been taking place. Everything from UFOs, to the government spying on the citizens of the United States.

One person who is not taking this drone activity lightly is United States Congressman Jeff Van Drew, R-2-NJ.

Van Drew is mincing no words as usual. He wants the drones shot down, as he sees them as a national security threat.

Van Drew said earlier today:

"What we have uncovered so far is deeply troubling," said Congressman Van Drew. "There is circumstantial evidence that suggests these drones could be the work of foreign adversaries, specifically Iran. Right now, we know that there are drones flying in from the direction of the ocean. We also know there is an Iranian drone mothership that is missing from port in Iran, with a timeline matching the emergence of these drones. The time to act on this information is now before the threat escalates any further. These drones are intentionally flying in uncontrolled airspace, expertly navigating around areas with radar coverage. We should have already taken action by imposing flight restrictions to regain our control. Whether this is a foreign adversary or even just a group of drone hobbyists, we cannot allow unidentified drones to operate freely in our airspace with no consequences and it is time we eliminate the threat they pose and shoot them down,” said Van Drew.

Van Drew is also warning that we are following behind enemies regarding drone technology.

“Our country is exposed” said Van Drew. “We need to catch up, and fast. South Jersey is home to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) William J. Hughes Technical Center, which is uniquely equipped to address these challenges. As Vice Chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and a member of the Aviation Subcommittee, I will be working to prioritize the development of a comprehensive national strategy to enhance our radar coverage along the East Coast and beyond, as well as the creation of a drone patrol network to monitor and defend our skies. Our enemies are not waiting for us to catch up-and neither should we,” said Van Drew.
