On December 13th, Breitbart posted an article about the drones that have recently been sighted over New Jersey.

The article reports:

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” Belleville, NJ Mayor Michael Melham stated that the drones around the state have to be taken down and stated that there were briefings “that we’ve had Coast Guard working with our New Jersey State Police, our helicopters have seen them. We asked, well, when they go out to sea, are we going to shoot them down?” And they were told the drones wouldn’t be taken down due to fears of what might be on them.

Wait a minute. We don’t know who they belong to (supposedly), we don’t know what they are doing, and we don’t know what is on them. Wow. We really are doing great with our military defenses.

The article notes:

…We were told during the briefing that these drones are hovering over critical infrastructure, and as you said in your intro, you’re talking about nuclear power plants, you’re talking about reservoirs, you’re talking about Picatinny Arsenal, Fort Dix, Trump Bedminster. … Yet, they’re telling us that there’s no credible threat. Yet, they’re also telling us they don’t want to take them out of the air. They’re also telling us they don’t want a temporary ban.”

He added, “[W]e were briefed that we’ve had Coast Guard working with our New Jersey State Police, our helicopters have seen them. We asked, well, when they go out to sea, are we going to shoot them down? No, we’re not going to shoot them down. Why not? We’re told, well, we don’t know. There might be a payload on them. There may be this on them, may be that on them. … The drones should be shot down.”

Melham also said that it is possible that the drones could actually be a federal government countermeasure.

If we are willing to let these supposedly harmless drones fly freely into our airspace, what will stop those that wish us harm from attaching bombs or harmful chemicals to drones and flying them into our airspace?
