Bondurant, Iowa — Iowa Congressman Zach Nunn — a Republican who’s a colonel in the Air Force Reserves — says the American public needs real answers to repeated reports of drone sightings.
President Biden said this week there’s nothing nefarious about drone sightings on the east coast. President-elect Trump has said something strange is going on and he is staying away from his New Jersey golf club as a precaution.
Nunn says the U S Coast Guard as well as New Jersey law enforcement agencies have confirmed the sightings there.
A White House spokesman says there is no national security threat and it appears to be normal, legal activity.
Nunn says the US should have a domestic drone production program, so the country isn’t dependent on drone technology that today comes from China and eastern Europe. Nunn, who was an airborne intelligence officer in the Air Force, also led an Iowa National Guard Intelligence Squadron in the past decade.
