Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) expressed frustration over a lack of information regarding unidentified drones flying over the Northeast, claiming that Congress is “still in the dark.” Greene said, “The American people are greatly concerned about the unidentified drones flying over the Northeast. We’ve asked everyone for a classified briefing, and members of Congress are still in the dark.”
Greene added, “But my understanding is that the Biden administration would just tell us the same things they’re telling the public: people are seeing airplanes, helicopters, and stars. No one is buying it!! It’s time for the government to come clean.”
She criticized the Biden administration for providing vague explanations, suggesting that the government knows more than it is sharing with the public.
President Trump echoed these concerns, asserting that the military is aware of the drones’ origins but is withholding information from citizens.
Trump said, “The government knows what is happening.”
Trump continued, “Our military knows where they took off from. If it’s a garage, they can go right into that garage. They know where it came from and where it went, and for some reason they don’t want to comment.”
Trump added, “And I think they’d be better off saying what it is. Our military knows, and our president knows. And for some reason they want to keep people in suspense.”
Belleville Mayor Michael Melham also raised alarms, suggesting the drones may be searching for missing radioactive material in New Jersey, and called for greater transparency from the government regarding their purpose and operations.
Belleville Mayor Michael Melham said, “We know for a fact it’s not little green men, and more than likely, it’s not a foreign adversary, because they would be able to figure out how to turn off the blinking lights.”
Melham continued, “These drones are huge. We had a mayor yesterday on the call with the White House telling them that he had six foot drones hovering over his house. Yet they continue to tell us we don’t know what we’re talking about. It’s misidentification. Certainly there’s some misidentification probably going on, but I could assure you that we are seeing drones in New Jersey all over the place.”
Melham said, “I know that we were told by our state police that we have assets over our critical infrastructure. Now, depending on your point of view, that’s either concerning or comforting.”
Melham explained, “We also know that we have drones that are flying in a grid like pattern. In my opinion, they’re looking for something. What might they be looking for? Well, potentially, we’re aware of a threat that came in … Maybe that’s radioactive material.”
Melham said, “There was, and there is an alert that’s out right now that radioactive material in New Jersey has gone missing on December 2. It was a shipment. It arrived at its destination. The container was damaged and was empty.”
Melham explained, “And again, this is just an example of what I think that we’re sniffing for. I think we do have the assets that can go up and fly around and sniffing, which is why we’re not seeing the uptick we used to see in Belleville anymore. It’s kind of moving, but we’re seeing alerts that it’s happening now in Pennsylvania.”
Melham said, “That’s the crazy part about this.”
Melham continued, “We’ve gotten very little information, even yesterday, on that call with the White House, literally, mayors were told, you guys are seeing things. There’s no credibility to this. We have one mayor like I said, had drones over his house. I mean, we’re no longer going to stand for not hearing the truth. I mean, our state government is failing us. They’re not getting the answers from the federal government. And even though yesterday, they told us that there’s nothing to see here. Today, there’s a top secret briefing going on in Congress. What are they being told that we weren’t told yesterday?”
Melham added, “I want them to be clear with us. I want transparency. I want them to say these are our assets. There’s no need to concern about what’s flying. The question should no longer be who’s flying these drones or who owns them. It should be what they’re looking for. Tell us they’re ours. Tell us that they’re protecting us and tell us what the threat is.”
Trump said, “Something strange is going on. For some reason, they don’t want to tell the people, and they should, because the people are really, I mean, they happen to be over Bedminster if you want to know the truth. They’re very, they’re very close to Bedminster.”
