Reports from local authorities, including police departments, sheriff departments, and the U.S. Coast Guard, suggest New Jersey’s drone activity originates in the ocean. One New Jersey congressman says local military officials know about it but are telling him they have not been given the green light to defend our skies from Washington, D.C. bureaucrats. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy continues telling New Jersey residents, there is no public threat posed by the drone activity, even after U.S. Coast Guard boat trailed by 12 drones off the Jersey Shore.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Recent drone sightings along the New Jersey coastline have sparked significant concerns among residents, local officials, and federal authorities.
