Bipartisan lawmakers ‘equally angry’ over government handling of drone sightings

A New Jersey lawmaker says he “can’t believe” how the government is wording its investigation into recent drone sightings across northeast America.

State Assemblyman Paul Kanitra joined “Fox News @ Night” on Thursday to discuss the bipartisan outrage at how the government is handling the drone sightings.

“We’re a polarized society, but I can tell you when we were in ‘The Rock,’ our security building in New Jersey, and we had a hundred state legislators from across the political spectrum – upper house, lower house – everyone was equally angry at this situation,” Kanitra said.

The first drone sighting took place in New Jersey on Nov. 18, the Federal Aviation Administration said earlier this month, prompting the agency to issue two temporary flight restrictions.

Kanitra said he learned during an intelligence briefing for state legislators on Wednesday that there have been confirmed drone sightings “every night since then.”

In a Facebook post, Kanitra said he implored the Department of Homeland Security during that briefing to “take swift and decisive action” against the drones, describing the situation as “infuriating.”

On Thursday, the White House said an investigation is in its beginning stages, but nothing, thus far, has revealed malicious or criminal intent, or a national security threat.

“If these are foreign adversaries with these drones, and we’re a month into this already and we haven’t done nearly enough, I can’t believe that our government is wording this the way that they are,” he said on “Fox News @ Night.”

Kanitra took a picture from a distance of apparent drones in the New Jersey sky on Thursday night.

He said “these are not hobbyist drones” and the military should have the technology needed to get quality photos.
