Van Drew Pursues Investigation as Mystery Drones on
| Over the past few days, U.S. Rep. Van Drew (D-1) said he has been investigating the disturbing reports that have emerged of drones flying over New Jersey. He has been meeting with officials to gather information on these incidents, which he said he believes could be part of a much larger national security threat.
“What we have uncovered so far is deeply troubling,” said Van Drew. “There is circumstantial evidence that suggests these drones could be the work of foreign adversaries, specifically Iran. Right now, we know that there are drones flying in from the direction of the ocean. We also know there is an Iranian drone mothership that is missing from port in Iran, with a timeline matching the emergence of these drones. The time to act on this information is now before the threat escalates any further. These drones are intentionally flying in uncontrolled airspace, expertly navigating around areas with radar coverage. We should have already taken action by imposing flight restrictions to regain our control. Whether this is a foreign adversary or even just a group of drone hobbyists, we cannot allow unidentified drones to operate freely in our airspace with no consequences and it is time we eliminate the threat they pose and shoot them down. “We are currently falling behind our enemies in terms in terms of drone technology, and because of it, our country is exposed. We need to catch up, and fast. South Jersey is home to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) William J. Hughes Technical Center, which is uniquely equipped to address these challenges. As Vice Chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and a member of the Aviation Subcommittee, I will be working to prioritize the development of a comprehensive national strategy to enhance our radar coverage along the East Coast and beyond, as well as the creation of a drone patrol network to monitor and defend our skies. Our enemies are not waiting for us to catch up–and neither should we.” |
Congressman Van Drew Sends Letter to the President to Urge Swift Action to Neutralize the Drones

There is an article in Business Insider that shows satellite images of the Iranian Drone Ship Shahid Bagheri (700 ft. converted container ship that looks like a small aircraft carrier). Sometime between Nov. 12 and 28 it left port for the first time. That is the ship Van Drew is talking about. You can’t hide a 700 ft long ship. Our government must know if it is anywhere near the US. It could be the source of the drones. Van Drew is not off base here.
Blow the mother ship up immediately then blow up Iran oil and nuclear then jail Joe Biden,Chris Wray,Nancy,mayorcus,

There is a 12/12/2024 article in Business Insider headlined “Satellite images show Iran’s drone carriers are nowhere near the US as New Jersey faces a mystery drone problem”. https://www.businessinsider.com/satellite-images-iranian-drone-carriers-far-from-us-amid-mystery-2024-12
“Newly captured satellite imagery shows that Iran’s drone carriers are off its southern coast, thousands of miles away from the eastern United States.”
“The images back up the Pentagon’s refutation of a New Jersey lawmaker who suggested that one of the Iranian ships was operating nearby and responsible for the rash of reported drone sightings in the congressman’s state lately.”
I’m sure that Cong. Van Drew will stop at nothing to quickly clarify his press release.
