Republican Rep. Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey said Wednesday the drones sighted over his state are a “clear and present danger” to the country and specifically to President-elect Donald Trump. There have been numerous sightings over the past month, including over 50 drones moving overland from the ocean this past weekend. FBI Assistant Director Robert Wheeler testified before the House Homeland Security Committee Wednesday that the agency does not know the source of the drones, but is “actively investigating” the matter. Asked whether they pose a danger to the public or a national security risk, Wheeler responded, “There is nothing that is known that would lead me to say that, but we just don’t know, and that’s the concerning part.” Van Drew told Fox News on Wednesday, “[F]rom very high sources, very qualified sources, very responsible sources, I’m going to tell you the real deal.” “Iran launched a mothership, probably about a month ago that contains these drones. That mothership is off the east coast of the United States of America,” he continued. “They’ve launched drones ... I don’t say this lightly. Now, you know, we know there was a probability it could have been our own government. We know it’s not our own government, because they would have let us know,” Van Drew said. The congressman stated regarding the drones, “We’ve gotta bring ’em down.” Van Drew acknowledged that it could be another entity besides Iran that is responsible for the large drones, but he doubted any private group could be behind the undertaking, given the technology involved. The lawmaker emphasized that he is not just trying to make news by going on air. “I’m telling you the straight deal from very high-positioned individuals,” he said. Fox News host Harris Faulkner expressed alarm that at least some of the drones are reportedly the size of SUVs, making them a potential threat to those on the ground if shot down. Faulkner also noted that the drones are flying in the area of Trump’s Bedminster, New Jersey home. “Right now, they’re probably extracting information. This is a clear and present danger to the United States and to our president-elect, and it’s a serious business,” Van Drew suggested. Defense Department deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh told reporters later on Wednesday, “At this time, we have no evidence that these activities are coming from a foreign entity or the work of an adversary.” “... At no point were our [military] installations threatened when this activity was occurring,” she added. Regarding Van Drew’s assertion of an Iranian mothership being the source of the drones, Singh said, “There is not any truth to that. There is no Iranian ship off the coast of the United States, and there’s no so-called mothership launching drones towards the United States.” 🚨 JUST IN: The Pentagon is now DENYING earlier report from a NJ Congressman of a so-called “mothership” from Iran launching drones from off the coast of the Eastern U.S. What is going on? — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) Van Drew is not the only lawmaker raising questions about the drone sightings. said New Jersey GOP Rep. Chris Smith also reported between 12 and 30 drones were spotted following a U.S. Coast Guard vessel Sunday night off the New Jersey shoreline. GOP Sen. Josh Hawley, who servers on the Homeland Security Committee, told Fox News Tuesday night that he does not think the federal government is being fully forthright about what it knows about the drones. If our government really doesn’t know what these giant drones are over New Jersey and our military bases, they’re even more incompetent than we thought. Time for them to level with us about what’s really going on — Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) He argued, “If our government really has no idea, then they’re even more incompetent than I thought. We’ve got to get to the bottom of this, and they need to level with the American people about what’s going on.” We are committed to truth and accuracy in all of our journalism.

I mean, I am thankful for weekends, babies, walks in the rain, comfy sofas, random acts of kindness, the fact that I pay so little attention at work, I am permanently exempted from having to sign a non-disclosure agreement... I am thankful that the descendants of Abraham have been blessed to be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the seashore, although they do fall short of the number of artificial ingredients in a box of breakfast cereal. I am thankful that some states’ vote-counting pace provides a perfect strategy for dieters. (“Whoa! It turns out that combo meal I ate last Tuesday had 2,000 calories! I’ll have to take that into account the Thursday after next, when I find out how many calories this here chocolate fountain packs!”) I am thankful that my taste buds can accommodate sour grapes. That makes it easier when my smartphone camera announces, “Storage full!” just as I’m about to snap some once-in-a-lifetime photograph. (“Ah, who needs a photo of Bigfoot hiding a lost John Lennon recording in Amelia Earhart’s plane, anyway?”) I am thankful that – if there’s any justice in the world – all those clothing designers who refuse to standardize sizes and cuts will someday find themselves not quite fitting into their caskets or urns. I am thankful that I can still manage to fake detecting a difference between 500 permutations of (faintly) scented candles. (“Ah, yes – the Buttcheeks & Boysenberry! I shall savor the experience until my dying day! Perhaps you would enjoy a little something I call Eau de Exertion of Just Turning On The %$#@ Lamp. Wait, there’s more! I’m also marketing a new game called Just What Foul Odor Is Debbie Trying To Mask, Anyway?”) I am thankful that if you smile, the world smiles with you – although not necessarily at the same time and not without sneezing, half-closed eyes and devil horns. I am thankful that I may someday be as famous as Robert Oppenheimer, since my kitchen junk drawer is finally approaching critical mass. I am thankful that folks tolerate my inability to remember names, but let’s be honest: most people don’t have names that are that memorable to start with. You can ask (let me consult my list here) my mechanic Brad Pitt, my accountant Babe Ruth and my neighbor John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. I am thankful that there has been a pause in cases of zealots trying to “cram their ideas down your throat.” Of course, the tentative plan to infect you with their opinions via a patch is alarming in its own right. (“No, wait. Better yet: you can now scan this QR Code to have all your beliefs ridiculed to the core!”) I am thankful to find teachable moments in life, although some days I’m less inclined to impart my years of wisdom than to announce, “Hey, go raid your grandparents’ closet and do a Seventies dress-up day!” Don’t take things for granted this Thanksgiving. Show a little reverence. In the words of the patriarch Isaac, “Hey, Dad, the next time you want to try a burnt offering, might I suggest a box of Fruity Pebbles, instead?”
