The U.S. Department of Defense denied claims that an Iran "mothership" was responsible for launching the drones seen buzzing in the night sky over New Jersey in recent weeks.

Republican New Jersey Representative Jeff Van Drew announced that the drones flying over his home state are from Iran.

The mysterious flying vehicles have blinking lights and have sometimes been described as being as large as a car. Walt Miller, chief of police in New Jersey’s Evesham township, gave a press conference Friday where he said cops have been flooded with calls about the flying objects. But it’s unclear to most people who might be behind them.
