Investing.com -- The unidentified drones that were seen flying across New Jersey and spotted throughout the East Coast during 2024 were officially authorized by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), according to a statement from the White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. This information was shared during the first press briefing of the Trump administration.
Leavitt relayed a direct update from President Trump on the situation. She explained that the drones, which were present in large numbers over New Jersey, had FAA authorization for various reasons including research. Alongside the authorized drones, many were also operated by hobbyists, recreational users and private individuals.
Leavitt stressed that the increased drone activity over time was due to growing curiosity and not a sign of any threat. She stated, "This was not the enemy."
