During a recent press conference, Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., expressed concerns about the unidentified drone sightings that have been occurring above U.S. military installations and homes in New Jersey since mid-November. These sightings have also been reported in Connecticut, prompting Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., to suggest that the drones should be 'shot down' if necessary.
Despite the growing unease among residents and officials, U.S. authorities have attempted to downplay the situation. In a phone conference with reporters, they stated that there is currently no evidence linking the drones to foreign adversaries.
