**Drones Over Maritime Patrol: Coast Guardsman Slams Biden Administration’s Dismissal**
Tensions are escalating within the U.S. Coast Guard as a brave serviceman openly criticizes the Biden administration for its nonchalant dismissal of alarming drone activity during a recent patrol.
A Coast Guardsman assigned to Barnegat Light, New Jersey, expressed frustration over the administration’s failure to take seriously a bizarre encounter that saw a swarm of drones trailing a U.S. rescue vessel.
"We're not making this up," the anonymous Coast Guardsman stated, highlighting disbelief that their firsthand accounts are being ignored by officials in Washington, D.C.
This unsettling incident saw between 12 and 30 drones appearing suddenly around 9 p.m., maintaining pace with the vessel as it patrolled the Atlantic Ocean at a speed of 20 knots.
The Guardsman described the drones as hovering approximately 80 to 100 feet above the vessel, characters vividly painted with flashing red, green, and white lights—distinctions that make them unmistakable from commercial aircraft.
“How could they think we’re mistaken? We know the difference between a drone and an airplane,” he asserted, as calls for accountability from the Biden administration grow stronger.
In stark contrast to the firsthand testimony, White House spokesperson John Kirby confidently dismissed the concerns, attributing the sightings to “commercial drones, hobbyist drones,” or even misidentified stars while downplaying any potential threats to national security.
But Republicans on Capitol Hill are sounding alarms. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) expressed serious concern over unidentified drones observed near military installations.
McCaul emphasized that the possibility of these drones being adversarial, potentially originating from hostile nations like China, is a matter of grave national security.
“Drones flying over our military bases may well be spy drones,” he warned. “We need to know who is behind that.”
Meanwhile, local authorities are also voicing their fears. Belleville Mayor Michael Melham (R) highlighted a potential connection between the drone sightings and the mysterious disappearance of a shipment containing radioactive material in New Jersey earlier this month.
As the Biden administration continues to downplay incidents that could signal serious threats, service members and local officials insist that action must be taken to protect the nation’s security.
"This isn't just about drones; it's about the respect and acknowledgment of those who are on the front lines," remarked the Coast Guardsman, echoing a sentiment shared by many worried citizens.
The situation symbolizes a broader pattern of governance under the current administration—an inclination to brush aside critical warnings while undermining the experiences of those entrusted with safeguarding America’s coastlines and borders.
As we move closer to a new election cycle, the urgency for effective leadership that values truth and accountability becomes even more pronounced. It remains to be seen whether the Biden administration will heed these warnings or continue down its current path of denial.
