US Representative Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey suggested Iranian involvement in a Wednesday hearing and urged the federal government to bolster its security and aviation technology to avoid potential harm from the drones. The Pentagon has denied his assertion about Iran.

The FBI is looking for more reports “related to the recent sightings of possible drones flying in several areas along the Raritan River.”

A U_S_ senator says mysterious drones spotted flying at night over sensitive areas in New Jersey should be “shot down, if necessary.”
