A congressman says he was "deeply concerned" after police video recorded an army of 55 drones coming from New Jersey's ocean coast. Dozens of those drones also trailed a U.S. Coast Guard vessel.
The comments by U.S. Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J. 4th District, come as state homeland security officials are set to brief mayors across the state in a closed-door meeting on Wednesday morning.
An army of drones - Rep. Chris Smith says 55 came off the ocean. |Smith said that police body cam video captured 55 drones coming in from the ocean off Island Beach State Park on Sunday night. The commanding officer for the Barnegat Coast Guard station, James Corbisiero, told Smith that between 20 and 30 of them followed one of the station's 47-foot rescue boats.
Smith said that given the Coast Guard deals with drug runners what would be the rules of engagement with the drone. (How about: Shoot One Down}

"We have to treat this with a presumption of potential hostile threat. You gotta presume. You don't sit there and say, 'well, it'll be OK.' No, it won't be.
"I think he needs to demand that the Biden administration and the Secretary of Defense need to make this a priority right now. Don't just say Homeland Security is handling it," Smith said.
Why would all those facilities be ticked off if they have nothing to do with the drones? Don’t get mad, get even.
You just have to love spokesman Kirby. He’s sure what THEY ARE NOT but doesn’t have a clue what THEY ARE!
Isn’t it time that he was put out to pasture?
Just like the Chinese balloons that they “were following with some concern” for weeks. Just shoot them down, ffs.
I’m telling you they’re migrating Herons.
One night all those drones will be armed.
Just shoot them down...
They show up here in South Carolina, these Good-Ol-Boys would be more than happy to shoot ‘em down...
I’m itchin’. SC here.
Not to make excuses for Kirby, but what can he possibly say that will defuse this situation?
He doesn't know what the drones are yet he is worried that people are on the verge of panic.
So he says, "Don't worry. Despite the fact that we know nothing about these drones, we have no evidence that their intentions are malevolent."
I doubt he is a complete fool, but he is a spokesman for a very foolish administration...and that requires him to act the fool.
If he had any integrity, he would resign.
Why are we letting these drones fly without being intercepted?
Does the Coast Guard have any drones of their own? Why don’t they send one up to get a closer look at these mystery drones?
Karine Jean-Pierre is another one.
“”If he had any integrity, he would resign.””
I thought he was already GONE!!!! I don’t remember seeing him in a long time but I DO try to limit my intake of news! Bad for my health!
No word yet on their findings.
Trump said to shot these things.
Prior to Obama, these drones would have been history by now.
