During the House Aviation Subcommittee hearing, the President of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association acknowledged that he has no knowledge of any FAA involvement regarding the New Jersey drones or UFOs. Representative Van Drew stated, “Something’s going on,” adding that “nobody can provide me with a clear answer.”
It sounds like there is a growing concern and confusion regarding the recent sightings of drones or unidentified flying objects in New Jersey. Rep. Van Drew’s comments highlight the frustration many feel when facing a lack of clarity on such incidents, especially when they involve seemingly unusual aerial activities. The fact that even leaders within the aviation community, like the National Air Traffic Controllers President, are in the dark about FAA involvement raises more questions than answers. It might be helpful for Congress to push for a more thorough investigation into these sightings, ensuring there is transparency and communication from all relevant agencies. Public safety and trust in our air traffic systems are paramount, and addressing these incidents directly could help quell concerns.
