(VitalNews.org) – New Jersey is under siege as mysterious drones swarm the state’s skies, leaving Americans demanding answers and action.
Republican state Senator Jon Bramnick has called for a “limited state of emergency” to ban all drone activities, highlighting the urgent need to protect the nation’s security and privacy.
With over 3,000 sightings reported to the FBI, the situation has escalated beyond mere curiosity to a potential threat that demands immediate attention.
The drone invasion has reached alarming levels, with nearly 50 sightings reported in a single night over a New Jersey weekend.
Since mid-November, these unidentified aerial intruders have been spotted in at least ten counties across the state and have even ventured into parts of New York City.
Particularly concerning is the concentration of drone activity near sensitive locations.
Since November 13, eleven drones have been seen near Picatinny Arsenal, a crucial Army facility in Morris County.
In response, the Federal Aviation Administration has temporarily banned drone flights over the arsenal and President-elect Donald Trump’s New Jersey golf course.
The failure of federal agencies to identify the source or purpose of these drones is deeply troubling.
Despite the FBI’s involvement, authorities remain baffled by the origin and destination of these mysterious aircraft.
Adding to the confusion, some officials have suggested that the drones might be coming from an Iranian ‘mothership’ off the East Coast.
Bramnick’s call for a limited state of emergency has been deemed a necessary step to address this crisis.
By temporarily banning all drone activities, authorities can regain control of the skies and conduct a thorough investigation without interference.
The situation demands immediate federal intervention. Rep. Thomas Kean Jr. and over 20 New Jersey mayors have joined the chorus calling for action.
As Kean emphasized, “The safety and privacy of our residents must be a top priority, and right now, both are being put at risk.”
New Jersey state Senator and 2025 gubernatorial candidate @JonBramnick says there should be a "limited state of emergency banning all drones until the public receives an explanation" regarding the unexplained sightings that have been reported around the state in recent weeks. https://t.co/aO7c7zU3YY
