The FBI has launched an investigation into mysterious glowing lights that have been spotted over New Jersey for the last few weeks.
Video footage revealed the drones featured green and red lights on their wings and multiple eyewitness described them as large as a small car.
The FBI has launched an investigation into mysterious, ‘car-sized’ drones seen flying over over New Jersey at night in the last several weeks
Others suggested the drones are being used to spy on President-elect Donald Trump, who has been known to vacation at his Bedminster golf club and typically flies into Morristown Airport.
Trump was the target of a failed Iranian ᴀssᴀssination attempt in November.
Farhad Shakeri, 51, was revealed to have admitted to orchestrating the terrifying scheme which was thwarted by the FBI and involved three alleged hitmen who were hired by the feared Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to carry out a hit on the president-elect.
And earlier last month, Chinese spies were said to have hacked the smartphones of Trumps’ lawyer and campaign staff.
The attacks have raised concerns about America’s adversaries spying on the president-elect.
Eyewitnesses have reported spotting the unexplained drones over the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster and the Picatinny Arsenal Military Base in Rockaway, among other locations
But it is not clear whether he has been at the golf course recently or who is behind the drones.
X users also speculatively attributed the drones to Amazon’s new Prime Air delivery service or, worryingly, to surveillance from a foreign power.
Morris County Sheriff, James Gannon, told NBC News: ‘There is no advisable immediate danger to the public at this time.’
The drone sightings first began in mid-November and have continued almost every night since, residents have reported.
But strangely, they appeared to ‘take the night off’ on Thanksgiving, Mike Walsh, a Morris County resident, told NBC New York.
The flying objects are larger than drones used by hobbyists, raising questions about their proximity to those specific locations
