Bramnick Calls for ‘Limited State of Emergency’ in Drones Case

Assembly Minority Leader Jon Bramnick said the NJ Legislature must stay in session this summer to take care of the state’s unaddressed issues.
Senator Jon Bramnick (R-21) released the follow statement regarding the mysterious drones flying over New Jersey:

“The State of New Jersey should issue a limited state of emergency banning all drones until the public receives an explanation regarding these multiple sightings.”

By way of context via ABC News:

The mayors of 21 towns in New Jersey are demanding action in a letter sent to Gov. Phil Murphy over the mysterious drones that have been spotted flying overhead in recent weeks.

Since mid-November, large drones of uncertain origin have been repeatedly spotted in the sky at night over central and northern New Jersey.

The drones, which are larger than the type typically used by hobbyists, have raised concerns due to their proximity to both a military installation and President-elect Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf course.

Also, this from TAPInto:

an increase in drone sightings across the borough and state over the past few weeks. At the request of State and Federal Law Enforcement partners, residents are asked to report any information or footage of the unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).

While it is not illegal to fly drones in unrestricted airspace, authorities are working to monitor their activity and ensure public safety.

The FBI Newark, NJ State Police, and NJ Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness are asking for the public to report any information related to the recent sightings of possible drones flying in several areas along the Raritan River. Witnesses have spotted the cluster of what looks to be drones and a possible fixed wing aircraft. The FBI has reports from the public and law enforcement dating back several weeks.

  1. Everyone knows there’s a Chinese spy ship sitting outside the 3-mile limit off the NJ and NY coast launching these drones. Does anyone remember Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941. This will be worse if they hit critical electric infrastructure, nuclear powerplants, dumping who knows what into our reservoirs, and spreading aerosol pathogens.
