A fed-up New Jersey politician stormed out of a Homeland Safety briefing in regards to the drone phenomenon taking up the state — calling the assembly an “amateur hour” that offered “no answers.”
NJ State Consultant Brian Bergen barged out of the “worthless” Wednesday assembly, calling out the federal authorities for his or her lack of solutions to the rogue drones which have been noticed flying above the Backyard State since Nov. 18.
“I walked out because it was worthless. It was the biggest amateur hour presentation I’ve ever seen about anything. It was ridiculous. There were no answers,” Bergen informed NewsNation after exiting the powwow early.
“They don’t know where the drones are coming from. They don’t know who’s doing it, they don’t know why they’re doing it, but they say there’s no credible threat,” the state rep continued.
Bergen, who served within the US Military as an Apache helicopter pilot, expressed additional frustration with the feds’ obvious lack of motion with regards to monitoring down the mysterious flights.
“This is a complete lack of effort, in my opinion, of trying to figure this out. This is not about ability. We have the technology, we have the people, we have the training, we have the resources, we have the money, it’s just a lack of effort,” the exasperated New Jersey rep informed the outlet.

The military veteran was in disbelief that the federal officers have been capable of declare that there was not an lively menace while nonetheless being unable to establish the operators of the crafts.
“They’re saying, ‘No threat’ but how the hell do they know? They don’t know anything,” Bergen expounded to NewsNation. “They don’t know what it is, they don’t know where it comes from, they don’t know nothing.”

Bergen went on to explain the assembly as “the biggest amateur hour briefing [he’d] ever sat through.”
Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh mentioned in a information convention Wednesday that “there is no evidence” that the drones are being operated by a overseas adversary — however didn’t provide any clarification or principle as to who was in actual fact working the thriller flyers.
The drones — that are described as being the dimensions of small automobiles — have been first seen flying over Picatinny Arsenal, a US army analysis and manufacturing facility, and close to President-elect Trump’s golf course in Bedminster final month.
