On Sunday, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas confirmed the sightings included drones, as well as manned aircraft commonly mistaken for drones. He told ABC News that he knew of "no foreign involvement" related to the sightings.

The Pentagon has denied the suggestion of one New Jersey representative that the possible drones were coming from an Iranian "mothership" lurking off the east coast, while an FBI official has said there may have been "a slight overreaction" on the topic.

According to Mayorkas, the uptick in drone reports may be due to a change in federal regulations allowing drones to be flown at night.

According to Mayorkas, the uptick in drone reports may be due to a change in federal regulations allowing drones to be flown at night.

That's what "they" want you to believe, obviously the increase of drones at night couldn't possibly be because drones were recently legally allowed to fly at night...
