Trump White House Addresses Concerns Over Mystery Drones

Hey there! So, you know how sometimes the skies just seem a little too busy? Well, grab your coffee because I’ve got a wild story for you about what’s been going down in New Jersey.

Lately, people have been spotting drones everywhere—especially near military bases and even at Trump’s Bedminster golf club. Yeah, that’s right! You can’t make this stuff up. The buzz has sparked all sorts of chatter: Are these drones foreign threats? Just some hobbyists flying high? Or something even creepier lurking in the air?

On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stepped in to clear the air (pun totally intended). She read a statement from none other than President Trump himself. He said, “After research and study… the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons.” Basically, he was trying to ease everyone’s minds about it all being some big enemy plot.

Leavitt jumped in with more reassurance saying, “This was not the enemy.” So there you have it—it sounds like we’re safe from an alien invasion… or whatever people were fearing!

But hold on; it’s not as simple as that. Between November and January alone, over **600 drone incidents** popped up on record! Can you believe it? And get this: more than **300 of those sightings** were super close to high-security sites. That raised a few eyebrows, right? Federal officials even slapped on temporary flight restrictions at over 50 sensitive locations—including Bedminster and Salem nuclear power plant. Now that’s serious business.

The FAA has lifted those restrictions since then, but trust me when I say folks are still uneasy about what’s buzzing around overhead. Sure, many might be just local hobbyists or researchers trying to get their drone-flying fix, but having them so close to critical sites is like waving a red flag.

And here’s where it gets interesting: This isn’t Trump’s first rodeo with these mysterious drones. Back in December when he was still president-elect, he hinted that the military knew exactly where these drones came from but decided to keep mum about it. He quipped, “Our military knows where they took off from… For some reason, they don’t want to comment.” Classic Trump humor mixed with a sprinkle of intrigue!

So yeah, while his remarks may have lightened things up—like joking about canceling trips due to drone madness—the whole situation really does underline some growing concerns about airspace security nowadays. Drones are becoming part of our lives whether we like it or not—and so are questions surrounding their impact on national security.

So next time you look up and see something buzzing by—you might just want to wonder what exactly is floating above your head!
