President-elect Donald Trump has suggested that “mystery drones” recently spotted in New Jersey and other parts of the country should be shot down.
A large number of drones have been spotted in recent weeks across New Jersey and neighboring states, prompting concern among residents and lawmakers and launching investigations by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies.
The FBI and Department of Homeland Security said in a joint statement on Thursday that there was “no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus.”
Regardless, the New Jersey drone sightings have continued and concerns have only grown, with additional sightings popping up in areas across the country.

Trump spoke out in favor of shooting down the drones on Friday night, while suggesting that President Joe Biden’s administration was withholding information about the sightings.
“Mystery Drone sightings all over the Country,” he wrote in a post to Truth Social. “Can this really be happening without our government’s knowledge. I don’t think so! Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!! DJT”
Newsweek reached out for comment to the White House via email on Friday night.
