<p>Authorities are taking sightings of &#8220;very sophisticated&#8221; unidentified flying objects (UFOs) that have unnerved residents in New Jersey &#8220;deadly seriously,&#8221; Governor Phil Murphy said on Monday.</p>
<p>Nighttime sightings that have <a href="https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/new-jersey-drone-mystery-staten-island/6048971/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> gone on for weeks have prompted investigations, FAA flight restrictions, and 21 mayors <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/drones-over-morris-county-new-jersey/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">demanding</a> further transparency from Murphy on what is happening.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t blame people for being frustrated,&#8221; Murphy <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/new-jersey-gov-phil-murphy-calls-federal-help-amid-very-sophisticated-drone-sightings-we-need-more?intcmp=tw_fnc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> reporters, adding that officials from &#8220;all levels of government&#8221; including the FBI and Homeland Security Department are looking into the matter.</p>

<p>“The minute you get eyes on them, they go dark… This is something we’re taking deadly seriously.” <a href="https://t.co/aS12aM693P">pic.twitter.com/aS12aM693P</a></p>

<p>Last week, the FBI released a <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices/newark/news/fbi-newark-seeks-information-on-drone-sightings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> stating that it was seeking any information from the public on &#8220;the cluster of what look to be drones and a possible fixed wing aircraft&#8221; along the Raritan River.</p>
<p>Murphy, a Democrat, emphasized that officials do not see anything that would warrant public safety concerns.</p>
<p>&#8220;Having said that, it&#8217;s really frustrating that we don&#8217;t have more answers as to where they&#8217;re coming from and why they&#8217;re doing what they&#8217;re doing,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p><a href="https://get.dailywire.com/gift-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://get.dailywire.com/gift-guide/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1733865599750000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2_Yjm_k4OETo1EGEQKEdL5"><b>CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE</b></a></p>
<p>The governor said there were 49 sightings on Sunday night, but noted he believed the figure to be inflated with a fixed-wing plane mistaken for a drone and multiple people reporting the same object.</p>
<p>&#8220;So we think these are overstated, but it&#8217;s a non-zero number,&#8221; Murphy said.</p>
<p>Murphy said he was involved in discussions with the White House and Homeland Security leaders &#8220;pretty much all day&#8221; on Sunday.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m hoping that we&#8217;ll get answers sooner than later,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I would just ask folks to continue to let the FBI or their local law enforcement know when they see something.&#8221;</p>
<p>What people are seeing are &#8220;apparently very, as I understand it, very sophisticated. The minute you get eyes on them, they go dark,&#8221; Murphy said.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re obviously most concerned about sensitive targets, and sensitive critical infrastructure,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So we&#8217;ve got military assets, we&#8217;ve got utility assets, we&#8217;ve got the president-elect — one of his homes here.&#8221;</p>
<p>Murphy was alluding to President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s golf club in Bedminster, where <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/news/new-jersey/drones-new-jersey-trump-bedminster-golf-course-fbi-20241206.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;car-sized&#8221; drones</a> have reportedly been seen nearby.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is something we&#8217;re taking deadly seriously,&#8221; Murphy said. &#8220;We&#8217;ve gotten good cooperation out of the feds, but we need more, and that was my plea.&#8221;</p>
<p>Murphy pledged to be transparent once he knows more.</p>
<p>&#8220;The minute we know something, I&#8217;m not going to hide it under a bush,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Murphy said he was not aware of any &#8220;nefarious drone&#8221; crashing, adding, &#8220;If there is one that&#8217;s crashed, could someone please call me and let me know where that is?&#8221;</p>
<p>The governor did acknowledge &#8220;rumored downings,&#8221; noting that one turned out to be a toy and another was not found.</p>
<p>&#8220;Having our hands on equipment that&#8217;s on the ground would be helpful, no question about it,&#8221; Murphy said.</p>
