A U.S. congressman dropped about a bombshell Wednesday concerning the source of mystery drones flying over New Jersey, saying they’re being launched from an Iranian “mother ship” off the eastern seaboard of the United States.

“From very high sources, very qualified sources, very responsible sources, I’m gonna tell you the real deal,” said U.S. Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J.

“Iran launched a mother ship probably about a month ago that contains these drones. That mother ship is off … the east coast of the United States of America. They’ve launched drones is everything that we can see or hear and again these are from high sources. I don’t say this lightly.”

Van Drew, a member of House Judiciary Committee, told Harris Faulkner of Fox News: “Iran made a deal with China to purchase drones, mother ships and technology in order to go forward. The sources I have are good. They can’t reveal who they are because they are speaking to me in confidentiality.

“These drones should be shot down whether it was some crazy hobbyist that we can’t imagine or whether it is Iran. I think it very possibly could be. They should be shot down. We are not getting the full deal and the military is on alert with this.”

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
