(DCNF)—The mysterious drones sighted over New Jersey in December were authorized to fly and did not originate from a hostile power, The White House said Tuesday.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) authorized the drones to fly for “research” and were “not the enemy.” A brief panic ensued among the public and lawmakers over the mysterious drones in December, which was aggravated by hobbyists flying their own over the area, according to the White House.
In December, residents of Morris and Somerset counties in New Jersey saw what appeared to be flashing and darting lights overhead, with some appearing to travel in formations. Lawmakers began to ask federal agencies for answers, which were met with silence at the time.
Republican New Jersey Rep. Jeff Van Drew said Dec. 11 that the drones were launched by Iran from a “mothership,” citing “qualified” and “responsible sources.” The Pentagon quickly shot down Van Drew’s assertions that day, saying there was “no truth” to the rumor while also saying they were not “U.S. military.”
Trump called for the drones to be shot down in a Truth Social post Dec. 13, saying the public deserved to know what the objects were and adding that the incidents couldn’t “be happening without our government’s knowledge.”
The Federal Bureau of Investigation warned residents on Dec. 16 to not shoot down the drones, citing potential legal repercussions and the potential to accidentally shoot down a manned vehicle.
The FAA deferred to the White House while reiterating that drones can fly legally in most places under 400 feet with some exceptions when the Daily Caller News Foundation requested comment.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
