Donald Trump has vowed to tell the truth behind the New Jersey drone mystery, claiming the “government knows what’s happening.”
The president-elect revealed that the drones, which have been spotted in large numbers along the East Coast, have also appeared over his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey.
During a televised briefing from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump promised to announce the answers “some day in his administration,” referring to Jan. 21.
He criticized the current leadership, saying: “I think it’s ridiculous that [the Biden administration] We won’t tell you what’s going on with the drones.” Trump emphasized that these mysterious drones are not limited to New Jersey, noting similar sightings in Virginia.
The president-elect has previously suggested that the federal government may be responsible for the numerous drones spotted near military facilities and residential areas.
He stated, “The government knows what is happening,” and elaborated, “Our military knows where they left from. If it is a garage, they can go directly into that garage. They know where it came from and where it went.”
Claiming that the public is being deliberately kept in the dark, Trump said: “Our military knows it and our president knows it. And for some reason they want to keep people in suspense,” according to reports from the mirror.
The growing prevalence of affordable quadcopter drones, which are often used recreationally, is believed to be a major driver of the increase in sightings. Most of these drones are manufactured in China.
Amid national security concerns, the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is considering new regulations to restrict sales of Chinese drones in the United States.
The US military has already banned its personnel from using drones made by Chinese company Dai-Jing Innovations (DJI), citing “increased awareness of cyber vulnerabilities.”
These budget-friendly drones routinely connect to DJI systems in China for updates and monitoring, raising concerns that the technology can be ‘disabled’ remotely. Critics warn this could “blind” US forces in battle.
Although DJI’s cost-effective cargo drones, which can carry up to 60 pounds, dominate the market, they face little competition from Western manufacturers.
Pentagon documents have labeled DJI as a Chinese military asset, although the company denies these claims and claims it is “neither owned nor controlled by the Chinese military.”
“I’m going to give you a report on drones in the administration in a day. Because I don’t think they’re telling you what’s going on with the drones.” –Donald Trump.#drones #UAP #UFO pic.twitter.com/KEcXgkUYX6
