Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) voiced her frustration on Tuesday, revealing that members of Congress remain in the dark about the mysterious drone sightings across New Jersey and other regions, calling for transparency from the government.
“The American people are greatly concerned about the unidentified drones flying over the Northeast. We’ve asked everyone for a classified briefing, and members of Congress are still in the dark,” Greene remarked.
She further expressed her skepticism, saying, “But my understanding is that the Biden administration would just tell us the same things they’re telling the public: people are seeing airplanes, helicopters, and stars. No one is buying it!!” She continued, “It’s time for the government to come clean.”
During a press conference on Monday at Mar-a-Lago, President-elect Trump also addressed the escalating concerns regarding the drones, stating that while the government is aware of the situation, it is withholding information from the public.
“The government knows what is happening,” Trump affirmed.
“Our military knows where they took off from. If it’s a garage, they can go right into that garage. They know where it came from and where it went, and for some reason they don’t want to comment,” Trump added. “And I think they’d be better off saying what it is. Our military knows, and our president knows,” he said, noting, “And for some reason they want to keep people in suspense.”
He went on to add, “Something strange is going on. For some reason, they don’t want to tell the people, and they should, because the people are really, I mean, they happen to be over Bedminster if you want to know the truth,” Trump said. “They’re very, they’re very close to Bedminster.”
In line with these concerns, Belleville Mayor Michael Melham also made headlines when he spoke on Good Day New York, suggesting that the drones were likely searching for something, potentially radioactive material.
“We know for a fact it’s not little green men, and more than likely, it’s not a foreign adversary, because they would be able to figure out how to turn off the blinking lights,” Melham said.
“These drones are huge. We had a mayor yesterday on the call with the White House telling them that he had six foot drones hovering over his house. Yet they continue to tell us we don’t know what we’re talking about. It’s misidentification. Certainly there’s some misidentification probably going on, but I could assure you that we are seeing drones in New Jersey all over the place,” he continued. He also pointed to reports indicating the U.S. government might be searching for radioactive materials.
“I know that we were told by our state police that we have assets over our critical infrastructure. Now, depending on your point of view, that’s either concerning or comforting,” he explained, adding that he finds it “comforting because it’s probably us listening and watching.”
Melham went on to describe the drones’ flight patterns, stating, “We also know that we have drones that are flying in a grid like pattern. In my opinion, they’re looking for something. What might they be looking for? Well, potentially, we’re aware of a threat that came in … Maybe that’s radioactive material,” he suggested.
“There was, and there is an alert that’s out right now that radioactive material in New Jersey has gone missing on December 2. It was a shipment. It arrived at its destination. The container was damaged and was empty,” Melham explained. “And again, this is just an example of what I think that we’re sniffing for. I think we do have the assets that can go up and fly around and sniffing, which is why we’re not seeing the uptick we used to see in Belleville anymore. It’s kind of moving, but we’re seeing alerts that it’s happening now in Pennsylvania,” he said.
When asked about the government’s reluctance to share details, Melham expressed frustration, saying, “That’s the crazy part about this.”
He continued, “We’ve gotten very little information, even yesterday, on that call with the White House, literally, mayors were told, you guys are seeing things. There’s no credibility to this. We have one mayor like I said, had drones over his house. I mean, we’re no longer going to stand for not hearing the truth. I mean, our state government is failing us. They’re not getting the answers from the federal government. And even though yesterday, they told us that there’s nothing to see here. Today, there’s a top secret briefing going on in Congress. What are they being told that we weren’t told yesterday?”
Melham also emphasized that even Trump had mentioned during his press conference that the Biden administration and the government are fully aware of the situation.
“I want them to be clear with us. I want transparency. I want them to say these are our assets. There’s no need to concern about what’s flying. The question should no longer be who’s flying these drones or who owns them. It should be what they’re looking for. Tell us they’re ours. Tell us that they’re protecting us and tell us what the threat is,” Melham concluded.
