Rep. Jeff Van Drew stunningly claimed Iran is behind the mysterious drones sighted flying over northern New Jersey as the FBI scrambles for answers.
The Republican lawmaker from New Jersey told Fox News that Iran has launched a 'mothership' about a month ago that contains the drones off the coast.
'These are from high sources,' he claimed. 'I don't say this lightly.' He added that they should be 'shot down.'
The FBI has been investigating the mysterious sightings as witnesses have spotted them on numerous occasions.
