A transparency campaign promise was kept this week, well, sort of.
This past week, President Donald Trump's press secretary dished some information on the mass drone sightings that have been going on in New Jersey and other areas of the country.
Here are the remarks by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt given at the daily briefing on Jan. 29:
"And before I turn to questions, I do have news directly from the president of the United States that was just shared with me in the Oval Office from President Trump directly — an update on the New Jersey drones: After research and study, the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons.
Many of these drones were also hobbyists — recreational and private individuals that enjoy flying drones. In the meantime, it got worse, due to curiosity. This was not the enemy."
Watch the clip of Leavitt's remarks here:
That was it. That was the whole statement. Talk about underwhelming.
Now, I don't know about anyone else, but I found this explanation very unsatisfactory and left me with so many questions like what research was she talking about? What study? What “other reasons?"
These were mainly hobbyists and recreational drones? If it was just hobbyists, why all the cloak and dagger garbage from the last administration?
Why were the drones allowed by the FAA, allegedly, to fly over military installations, nuclear sites, and other sensitive areas?
Large numbers of drones seen coming in from over the Atlantic ocean, what about that?
Also, since when do "hobbyist" drones have the ability to evade a sheriff's office drone attempting to tail them?
There were 89 sightings in Monmouth County alone, as documented by the Monmouth County Sheriff's Office.
Monmouth Sheriff Shaun Golden was just as underwhelmed by this explanation as I was.
Longtime UFO/UAP investigative reporter George Knapp was also thoroughly unimpressed and raised some of the same questions I have.
Give his report a watch:
