NJ lawmaker calls for limited state of emergency to combat mysterious drones
New Jersey State Senator Calls for State of Emergency to Ground Drones
A New Jersey state Senator is urging Governor Phil Murphy to declare a state of emergency in order to ground all drones following a series of mysterious sightings in the Garden State. State Senator Jon Bramnick, a Republican, expressed his concerns on “Cavuto Live” and emphasized the need for urgent action to address the ongoing reports of unmanned aerial vehicles swarming the skies.
Bramnick has also called on the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to join in the state of emergency, as the public grows increasingly frustrated with the lack of answers regarding the mysterious drone activity. Despite reaching out to Governor Murphy, Bramnick has received no response and is determined to push for action to address the situation.
The sightings of unidentified drones near U.S. military installations, including President-elect Trump’s Bedminster golf course, have raised alarm among residents and officials alike. Similar drone sightings have been reported in other states such as New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut, as well as over three US airbases in the UK.
The lack of transparency from government officials regarding the drone activity has fueled conspiracy theories and raised concerns about national security. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has stated that the government does not have the authority to shoot down drones and believes that many of the sightings are cases of mistaken identity.
Residents who have witnessed the mysterious drone activity have expressed frustration with the government’s response, with some even threatening to take matters into their own hands and shoot down the drones. Bramnick highlighted the need for the Department of Defense to provide more information about the drones, including their origins and intentions.
The state of New Jersey is ill-equipped to deal with drones, according to Bramnick, who pointed out that the state only has two helicopters at its disposal. When one of these helicopters was deployed to investigate a drone sighting, the drone fled after its lights were turned off. This incident, according to Bramnick, is an indication that the drones may not have benign intentions.
In conclusion, Bramnick stressed the importance of grounding all drones in order to address the mysterious sightings and ensure the safety of residents. The urgency of the situation calls for immediate action from state and federal authorities to investigate the drone activity and provide answers to the public.
