Sing confirmed the craft are not US military drones and said there was 'no so-called Iranian mothership launching drones to the US.' The Federal Aviation Administration was first alerted about the strange activity around the military base on November 18, six days after the drones were spotted. Drones have been reported in 12 counties: Sussex, Passaic, Bergen, Essex, Monmouth, Ocean, Camden, Burlington, Somerset, Hunterdon, Morris and Warren.The FBI has received more than 3,000 drone sightings in the last week.
