New Jersey's mayor cited a government report on missing radioactive material in explaining a mysterious drone that appeared over the state.
Belleville Mayor Michael Melham made his case as a guest on “Good Day New York” on Tuesday. he claimed It is believed that the drone is most likely from the United States, rather than from a foreign or extraterrestrial source.
“It was shipped. You have arrived at your destination. The container was damaged and empty. ”
“We know that drones fly in a grid pattern. My theory is that they're looking for something. What are they looking for?” Melham asked. “Maybe it's radioactive.”
He went on to explain that just before drones started appearing, there was a government advisory regarding the loss of radioactive material in Newfield, New Jersey.
“It was a package. It arrived at its destination. The container was damaged and empty. So potentially that's what we're looking for,” Melham said of the notice. Ta.
He went on to criticize the government for being silent about what exactly is known about drones.
“That's the funny thing about this. We have very little information,” Melham said.
He said the mayor and other city officials were on the phone with the White House to assess the situation and were told there was nothing to worry about.
Accident report from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission explained It added that the missing radioactive material is the source of the Ge-68 pin, and that amount of material is unlikely to cause permanent damage if handled for a short period of time.
Some people dismissed the mayor's theory, pointing out that some of the drone sightings occurred before Dec. 3, when the radioactive material was reported missing. The FBI issued a statement Thursday saying the drone was likely a “legally operated manned aircraft” and that there was no evidence it posed a threat to the public.
When asked if the source was a “reliable source”, Melham asserted that it was.
“It's from the U.S. government,” Melham replied without irony.
