NSA spokesman said there’s no credible threat to national security.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation in New Jersey along with the state police issued warnings not to point lasers or shoot at unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Pilot safety has become a concern and there are legal ramifications due to federal law prohibiting shooting at drones.
The FBI stated, “Misidentification often occurs when UAS are mistaken for more familiar objects such as manned aircraft, low-orbit satellites, or celestial bodies like planets or stars.”
National Security Spokesman John Kirby stated there has been no credible threat. He said, “We assessed that these drones, these aircraft people are seeing are a mix of law enforcement drones, commercial drones, and hobbyists. We continue to see nothing that indicates a public safety risk or national security risk.”
Kirby added, “There are 1 million drones registered with the FAA here in the United States. Thousands upon thousands fly in our skies legally and lawfully every single day doing all kinds of good things for the public good.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For FBI and law enforcement officials as they handle inquiries from the public regarding the plethora of drones that have been sighted.
- For legislators as they seek more information regarding the drones and the incursions made into military installation airspace.
