Drones over New Jersey are all ‘lawful’ aircraft — or stars, White House says

White House spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Monday that the drones zipping over New Jersey residents’ homes are a “combination” of personal, professional and governmental aircraft.

“We assess that the sightings to date include a combination of lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones and law enforcement drones, as well as manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and even stars that were mistakenly reported as drones,” Kirby announced, per multiple reports.
