The Iranian “mother ship” is not behind drone observations about New Jersey, says Pentagon

The federal officials rejected the claims on Wednesday that the mysterious drones discovered in New Jersey came from an Iranian “mother ship”.

The US MP Jeff van Drew, R-NJ, said on Wednesday during a appearance in Fox News that the unidentified flight objects in the sky of his state come from an Iranian ship off the east coast of the country-a claim that from the US Department Rundweg was refused to defend.

Drew, who is sitting in the US House Committee for Transport and Infrastructure Committee, said that he had heard of “High Sources” that Iran controls the mysterious objects.

“Iran probably started a mother ship about a month ago that contains these drones. This mother ship is not on the east coast of the United States. They put drones in everything we can see or hear, ”said Drew. “And again they are from high sources. I don’t say that lightly. “

He added that the drones should be “shot down”, regardless of whether they come from Iran or people who fly drones as a hobby.

Drew’s statements were emphatically rejected on Wednesday by Pentagon spokesman Sabrina Singh.

“There is no Iranian ship off the United States coast, and there is no so -called mother ship that starts drones to the United States,” she said.

Singh added that there is no evidence that the mysterious flight objects are connected to a foreign unit or that an opponent’s work is. US officials, Singh said, will continue to monitor developments on the topic.

Also on Wednesday, the sheriff of Monmouth County, Shaun Golden, said in a explanation that the governor of New Jersey Phil Murphy should declare an emergency and should issue an executive regulation to ban leisure drone at night.

“The residents are increasingly alarmed by the increase in drone activities after dark and cause concerns about public security and security,” said Golden. “We can’t wait any longer. The governor has to act now and the Air National Guard has to enter to protect our communities. In addition, we are calling for the congress to adopt federal legislation for the state police and the Sheriff immediately nationwide, which would enable them to solve this topic. ”
