Mystery drones over New Jersey were authorized by the Federal Aviation Administration with the full knowledge of the Biden administration, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on Tuesday.

"This was not the enemy," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said about New Jersey's mysterious drone sightings.

The myriad of drones seen flying over New Jersey and around the tri-state at the end of 2024 were, for the most part, authorized by the Federal Aviation Agency, the White House said during its first press conference of the Trump administration.
