As of February 2025, the mysterious drone sightings over New Jersey have been officially attributed to authorized activities. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated on January 28, 2025, that these drones were "authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons," including recreational use by hobbyists.
