Maryland’s former Gov. Larry Hogan (R ) said he saw drones outside of his home last night, adding to reports of sightings in New Jersey, New York and a U.S. air base in Germany.
“Last night, beginning at around 9:45 pm, I personally witnessed (and videoed) what appeared to be dozens of large drones in the sky above my residence in Davidsonville, Maryland (25 miles from our nation’s capital),” he detailed in a statement on the social platform X.
“ I observed the activity for approximately 45 minutes,” he added.
Hogan admitted he didn’t know if the observation was a threat to public safety or national security.
“But the public is growing increasingly concerned and frustrated with the complete lack of transparency and the dismissive attitude of the federal government,” Hogan wrote.
“The government has the ability to track these from their point of origin but has mounted a negligent response. People are rightfully clamoring for answers, but aren’t getting any.”
His response echoes concerns from Sen. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) who called on the Federal Aviation Administration and other agencies to investigate who or what was behind the drone activity.
Law enforcement in Bowie, Md., also noted the drones flying over the state.
“We are being told that neither the White House, the military, the FBI, or Homeland Security have any idea what they are, where they came from, or who has launched or is controlling them–and that they pose no threat,” Hogan said.
“That response is entirely unacceptable. I join with the growing bipartisan chorus of leaders demanding that the federal government immediately address this issue.”
The Pentagon said there was no evidence any foreign country was behind the mysterious drones.
