A New Jersey congressman claimed Wednesday that the mystery drones over the Garden State are from Iran, and they’re being launched by a mothership parked off the East Coast.

The Department of Defense denied the reports of the drones coming from Iran. "There is no Iranian ship off the coast of the United States, and there's no so called mothership launching drones towards the United States," a spokesperson for the Pentagon told reporters.

“We have information that a sea-based Iranian drone mothership is currently missing from port, and that its embarkation timeline would align with the appearance of the New Jersey Drones,” he wrote the president in a letter obtained by Agudath Israel of America news.
