The Pentagon denied on Wednesday that any foreign country was behind mysterious drones that have flown near sensitive US military sites in New Jersey.
Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh said there was “no evidence” that the drones came from a foreign entity or were “the work of an adversary.”
“At no time were our facilities threatened when this activity took place,” he added in a briefing with journalists.
Representative Jeff Van Drew (RN.J.) he told Fox News that he had information from “very high sources” that Iran was launching the drones from a mother ship, without providing evidence.
Singh denied the lawmaker’s claims. “There is no truth to this. There is no Iranian ship off the coast of the United States and there is no so-called mother ship launching drones at the United States.”
The news comes just one day after Robert Wheeler, the deputy director of the FBI’s Critical Incident Response Group, he declared to Congress that the office was investigating unexplained drone sightings near sensitive US military sites.
“We don’t attribute it to an individual or a group yet,” he said. “We are investigating but I don’t have an answer as to who is responsible.”
New Jersey media outlets have reported swarms of drones flying near US military sites and elsewhere for more than a month.
The United States has been puzzled by several mysterious swarms of drones near US military sites, including nuclear ones, across the country.
Strange drones have been spotted near bases in Langley, Virginia, and in the United Kingdom, where US forces operate.
