“Not the enemy.” That’s the word from US president Donald Trump who on Tuesday debunked months of speculation over the origin of thousands of unidentified drone sightings over the US Eastern Seaboard.Instead, they were all authorized by the US Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) or were dedicated hobbyists and amateurs. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt made the announcement at her first press conference for Trump’s administration that the drones that flew over the Northeast US "were not the enemy.""The drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons," Leavitt read in a statement from Trump.Meanwhile, sightings continued to spike with more than 650 reported since the weekend alone. But others accused former president Biden of fearmongering.
