The Pentagon denied the claim that drones hovering over New Jersey were from an Iranian mothership. The mysterious drones spotted hovering over New Jersey did not come from an "Iranian mothership," according to the Pentagon. AdvertisementRepublican Rep. Jeff Van Drew told Fox News on Wednesday that "very qualified" and "reliable" sources had indicated they came from an "Iranian mothership" in the Atlantic. "They've launched drones into everything that we can see or hear," Van Drew said, adding that the drones should be "shot down." The FBI, the New Jersey State Police, and the Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness didn't immediately respond to requests for comments from Business Insider.
