Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-N.J.) has made bold claims linking drones seen near former President Trump’s New Jersey estate to an Iranian “mothership” off the East Coast. The assertion has sparked significant attention, as questions swirl about the mysterious drones that have been spotted across New Jersey skies for weeks.
Van Drew, in a conversation with Fox News host Harris Faulkner, detailed his suspicions. “Iran launched a mothership probably about a month ago that contains these drones. That mothership is off the East Coast of the United States of America,” Van Drew said. He described the drones as “SUV-sized” and added that initial concerns they could be linked to the U.S. government have since been dismissed.
“We know it’s not our own government,” he said, emphasizing the seriousness of his allegations.

Pentagon Pushes Back on Claims
As Van Drew’s comments circulated widely, the Pentagon was quick to address the claims, denying any evidence of an Iranian mothership operating near U.S. waters. A Department of Defense spokesperson clarified that there is no indication the drones are tied to a foreign entity or adversary.
“These are not U.S. military drones,” the spokesperson stated. “At this time, we have no evidence that these activities are coming from a foreign entity or the work of an adversary.” The investigation, they noted, is currently being handled by local law enforcement agencies.

Where is the FAA and Northcom in this situation? Everyone has to register their drone if it is over .5lbs. How can these drones fly in FAA airspace and NOT be known to the FAA, DHS and Northcom? Motherships are a bit out there but there has to be a responsible organization that can tell us what is going on.
