Mysterious drones hovering over the tri-state area are likely a deliberate distraction plot by a foreign power trying to hide other nefarious activities in the US, an expert has claimed.
“These drones and this activity are too large, too well organized to be the work of hobbyists,” said Gordon Chang, a senior fellow at the Gatestone Institute think-tank and author of “Plan Red: China’s Project to Destroy America.” told Fox Business.
“And that’s how the foreign powers go out. It could be Iran, it could be Iran in relation to China, but clearly, someone is trying to get our attention,” he said, claiming to have seen several well-lit drones.
“What really concerns me is that if they are trying to draw our attention to these drones, the question is, what are they doing elsewhere in our country? So we could be hit hard,” Chang warned.
Mysterious drones have been hovering over the East Coast, especially New York and New Jersey, for the past few weeks, with at least 3,000 sightings reported in the Garden State this month alone.
The Federal Aviation Administration said this reports started coming in Till 18th November.
Tension over mysterious flying objects reached its peak in New York on Saturday after Gov. Hochul’s announcement Now is the time to act.
“This has gone too far,” he said in a statement announcing that he asked federal officials to authorize local police departments to shoot down drones.
On Sunday, Hochul announced that federal officials had given permission to deploy a high-tech drone detection system in New York state to aid in the investigation.
