During the right-wing leader's first week back in the White House, Fox News' Peter Doocy asked him if there was "anything to be worried about" when it comes to the drones.
"I would like to find out what it is and tell the people. In fact, I'd like to do that," Trump said before turning to his Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, to ask, "Could we find out what that was, Susie? Why don't we find out immediately?"

"I can't imagine it's an enemy, or there would have been, you know, people would have gotten blown up, all of them. Maybe they were testing things. I don't know why. They wouldn't have said what it was," he added.
"They had a lot of them flying over Bedminster, which is interesting," the businessman pointed out about his club in New Jersey.
The FBI addressed the strange situation in a statement shortly after they first started appearing, saying, "The FBI Newark, N.J. State Police and N.J. Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness are asking for the public to report any information related to the recent sightings of possible drones flying in several areas along the Raritan River."

In the last weeks of the year, in coordination with the FBI and state and local officials, the White House claimed that "lawful, legal, commercial hobbyist and even law enforcement aircraft activity" was the reason for the strange happenings in the sky.
According to Dr. Will Austin, a national drone expert and the president of Warren County Community College, more drone sightings could be on the horizon.
"There has been a significant development," Austin told Fox News Digital.
Per the specialist, drones registered in America recently switched their firmware to a built-in geofencing feature, which blocked flight in banned areas.

"If you were flying a DJI drone . . . and you came to an airport . . . the manufacturer had put a kind of an invisible barrier around the border at the airports. Your drone would stop flying. That all ended on January 13. Now it's up to the individual user or each pilot to be in control," Austin pointed out.
"I'm predicting you're going to see a lot of drone incursions. That's my biggest fear now," he added.

Before former President Joe Biden left office, he tried to reassure the public nothing suspicious was going on with the drones.
"Nothing nefarious, apparently," the Democratic politician, 82, said on December 16, 2024, when asked about the objects. "We're following it closely. So far, no sense of danger."

Members of the U.S. House Intelligence Committee also emphasized that the drones are nothing to worry about.
"To date, they haven't found anything that would indicate that there's foreign influence, foreign actors, or even little green men who are working on the American people," Representative from Pennsylvania Chrissy Houlahan reportedly told The Hill.
