A US Army special operations veteran and drone expert says it’s “hard to believe” the government doesn’t know anything about the mysterious drone. New Jersey residents are being harassed For weeks, mindful that their instincts pointed to a foreign adversary being behind them.
“Whether it’s friendly or foe, our government is going to have a lot of convincing to do,” Fox News contributor Brett Velikovich said on “America Reports” earlier this week.
“I find it very hard to believe that our government really doesn’t know anything about this,” he said.
“Frankly, my gut tells me it’s an adversary that’s doing this because if it were a secret military test, the government would have shut it down because of the hysteria,” said Velikovich, a former special operations intel analyst and drone expert. ” ,
However, Defense Department officials have categorically said they do not believe the flying objects originated from “a foreign entity or adversary,” Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh told reporters Wednesday.
“There are no Iranian ships off the coast of the United States, and there is no so-called mothership launching drones toward the United States,” Singh said.
While officials have stressed that the giant unmanned aircraft seen circling the Garden State skies each night are not a threat to public safety, Velikovich remained more cautious, warning that the xenophobic threats to President-elect Donald Trump We can use the time before assuming office as a window. For espionage.
“Right now our adversaries are seeing an opening in our national security infrastructure because at the highest levels of our government, the transition between administrations is creating a security vacuum,” Velikovich said. “Time is an important indicator here.”
Velikovich said he believes current US infrastructure and national security systems are not equipped to deal with such threats.
“We have arcane infrastructure. We’ve been telling them to fix this for years, but the FAA doesn’t listen. His policies have completely destroyed our domestic drone industries,” Velikovich said. “We are 10 years behind China, 10 years behind Russia, and now our people are in danger.”
Disappointment reached its peak on Wednesday That’s after officials ignored New Jersey residents’ concerns over mysterious drones that have been filmed multiple times across the state in recent weeks.
authority – from FBI Governor Phil Murphy – continues to insist that drones pose no threat, but also claims he has no idea what the mysterious objects are.

Officials said on Wednesday that these sightings began around November 18, after which such incidents have been reported every night, with a total of 180 sightings.
