Unidentified drones have been sighted across New Jersey and nearby states, sparking public concern and federal investigations. While Rep. Jeff Van Drew claimed an Iranian "mothership" off the U.S. East Coast could be responsible, the Pentagon has dismissed these allegations, confirming no evidence that links the drones to Iran or any foreign adversary.

The drones, described as the size of cars, have hovered near critical infrastructure, prompting New Jersey officials to call for federal intervention. As investigations continue, Governor Phil Murphy and local leaders are urging enhanced nighttime drone restrictions and federal legislation to address the issue.
