Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie on Sunday slammed the federal response to the recently reported drone sightings over the Garden State and warned that if states are not granted more authority to handle the situation, there will be "drone vigilantes" who will start taking the drones down themselves. Drones have been spotted in recent weeks across New Jersey and neighboring states, prompting concern among residents and lawmakers and launching investigations by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. The FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is offering support for New Jersey, said in a joint statement on Thursday that there was "no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus." However, that has not eased the concerns of local residents and officials who are troubled about the mysterious drone activity and have little authority to handle the situation. "If you were governor right now, what kind of authority would you want to have?" ABC News' George Stephanopoulos asked Christie on the network's Sunday show This Week . "I'd want our state police to be able to have the authority to bring those drones down and find out why they're doing what they're doing. And of course, you'd have to coordinate with the FAA [Federal Aviation Administration]...the states do not have enough authority right now to do what they need to do," the former governor said. He continued: "And what we're going to find George, is you're going to have individuals acting as drone vigilantes. And they're going to start taking them down. That's not what we want because they're now an important part of commerce and law enforcement uses them frequently for surveillance and other things. We need to be able to operate in a safe way and we're not doing that." “I’ve lived in New Jersey my whole life. This is the first time that I’ve noticed drones over my house.” Former NJ Gov. Chris Christie warns that conspiracy theories will grow if the federal government does not address reported aerial sightings. https://t.co/MkRObTfDiQ pic.twitter.com/e206NSI4Se On Friday night, President-elect Donald Trump spoke out in favor of shooting down the mysterious drones if necessary, while suggesting that the Biden administration was withholding information about the sightings. "Mystery Drone sightings all over the Country," he wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform. "Can this really be happening without our government's knowledge. I don't think so! Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!! DJT." Christie told Stephanopoulos on Sunday that federal officials are not answering questions people have about the situation. "The Biden administration and state authorities have to be more vocal and let people know exactly what they're doing," Christie said, later adding, "It's a lack of communication from the government at the federal and state level that's at fault here." Newsweek has reached out to the FBI and DHS via email for comment Sunday afternoon. Christie did acknowledge that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas ' Sunday morning interview with Stephanopoulos prior to the former governor's appearance was "a bit of a better step but I think much too little too late." Mayorkas assured Americans that federal officials were on top of the issue and somewhat validated people's assertions that what they were seeing were drones. "I want to assure the American public that we in the federal government have deployed additional resources, personnel, technology to assist the New Jersey State Police in addressing the drone sightings," the secretary said Sunday morning. Mayorkas said that "some of those drone sightings are, in fact, drones. Some are manned aircraft that are commonly mistaken for drones," adding, "But there's no question that drones are being sighted." The secretary also urged Congress to expand local and state authority to "address the drone situation." The secretary's comments come after he told CNN "s Wolf Blitzer on The Situation Room Friday evening that federal officials "have not seen anything unusual" and that they "know of no nefarious activity." "It is very common for individuals who think they see drones, to actually see small aircraft and we have a case of mistaken identity. Also, we have six different people reporting what they think is a drone and all of a sudden we have reports of six drone sightings. So, there's some duplication," Mayorkas told Blitzer. Christie told Stephanopoulos on Sunday, "I agree that they need more authority. But to say this is not unusual activity is just wrong. I lived in New Jersey my whole life, this is the first time that I've noticed drones over my house." The former governor said he and his wife saw a drone fly over his home two days ago. "I've never seen anything like that before and I've been living at that house for 30 years," Christie added.
