(TRENTON) – Speaker Craig J. Coughlin today released the following statement concerning the recent drone sightings.

“New Jersey state legislators have been briefed by federal and state homeland security officials and law enforcement on the recent spike in drone sightings. While state officials were told today there is no known threat, there was also no explanation given for the increased sightings. Like most residents, my colleagues on both sides of the aisle and I want answers as soon as possible, and we will continue to press federal authorities for additional information.”
