(NewsNation) — President Donald Trump has promised to release a report on unexplained drones seen over the northeastprompting the FAA to issue temporary Drone ban in New Jersey and parts of New York.
While signing orders at the White House on Monday, Trump promised to investigate drone reports that began in November.
He promised a report on the drones within a day of taking office. But when reporters questioned Trump in the Oval Office about this “Day 1 update,” he put White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles on the case.
“I want to find out what it is and tell the people. In fact, I want to do that,” Trump said. He then redirected to Wiles. “Could we find out what it was, Susie? Why don’t we find out right away?”
Trump added: “I can’t imagine it’s an enemy or there would have been, you know, people would have been blown up, all of them. Maybe they were testing things. I don’t know why. They wouldn’t have said what it was, a lot of them flew over Bedminster, which is interesting.”
Where were drones seen?
Inexplicable drones reportedly began flying over sensitive military sites in New Jersey in mid-November. The White House and the Pentagon insisted they did not pose a threat.
Along the East Coast, drone sightings were also reported near the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, as well as in Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut. Sightings were also reported in California, Florida, Ohio and Minnesota.
The reports and public concerns prompted the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to issue ban in parts of New Jersey and parts of New York. Those drone bans have been lifted, but Trump believes there are unanswered questions.
Trump: Biden, military known details
Last month, Trump claimed that the Biden administration and the military knew what was going on with the unexplained drone sightings but wanted to keep “people in suspense.”
Later, more than 20 officials from the Justice, Homeland Security and Defense departments of Congress went to a classified drone hearing and testified that there was no threat.
