Fears are continuing to grow in America over the mysterious nationwide drone sightings, as security officials are criticised for their ‘lack of transparency’ on the issue.
Multiple sightings of unmanned drones flying across the sky have been reported in a number of US cities and bases in the last month – including New Jersey, New York and Washington DC.
Their presence has raised both alarm and confusion with few answers forthcoming.
This has led many people to offer numerous suggestions and conspiracy theories online, with some believing they are Government nuclear weapon detector drones or the result of foreign powers spying on the country.
The FBI, Department of Homeland Security, Federal Aviation Administration, White House and Pentagon released a joint statement on Saturday stating there was no evidence of large-scale or malicious drone activity.
They also dismissed many of the sightings as manned aircraft such as aeroplanes.
But this response was described as ‘disturbing’ by James Dodd, mayor of the town of Dover, New Jersey.
Meanwhile, Larry Hogan, the former governor of Maryland, took to social media to vent his frustrations with the White House’s ‘dismissive attitude’ to the situation.
Mr Hogan said he had witnessed ‘what appeared to be dozens of large drones in the sky’ above his home for about 45 minutes on Thursday night.

A federal probe into mysterious drone sightings in New Jersey and New York continues to produce a lack of substantial answers, angering lawmakers and residents alike.
The FBI has concluded the drones do not belong to the U.S. military and that foreign governments are not behind the objects. Drones have been spotted on the East Coast and Southern California.
But just because government agencies are not offering answers doesn’t mean they don’t have information about who could be behind the drone sightings, NewsNation special correspondent Ross Coulthart said.
“If it’s Russia or China, we have a very serious problem,” Coulthart said.
Based on the FBI’s conclusions, Coulthart said the list of who could be behind the mysterious objects is short. He said it could be a dissident, rogue group within the government or a private contractor that is “doing the wrong thing.”
On Thursday, John Kirby, White House national security spokesman, claimed that New Jersey residents have misidentified manned aircraft for the drones. However, because of the size of the objects residents have seen, those making the reports of the sightings continue to defend their opinions, Coulthart said.
“They want answers, and they don’t like being gaslit by the White House,” he added.
