No proof 'foreign actors' — or 'little green men' — responsible for NJ drones: Lawmakers
Raw StoryWASHINGTON — A top member of the House Intelligence Committee shared new insight Tuesday on drone activity flying above New Jersey. Ranking Member Jim Himes told Raw Story on Tuesday they are "not US government drones." A statement from National Security Counsel spokesperson John Kirby on Monday said, "Having closely looked at the tips and collated them as best we can from concerned citizens, we assess that the sightings to date include a combination of lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones and law enforcement drones, as well as manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and even stars that were mistakenly reported as drones." On Tuesday morning, Belleville, New Jersey, Mayor Michael Melham told Fox 5 in New York that the drones could be related to missing radioactive material. A small amount of radioactive material went missing in transit from a New Jersey cancer treatment center, New Jersey Shore News Network reported Monday, citing the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
