A local congressman isn't satisfied with the White House's answers about the mysterious drones seen across New Jersey skies late last year.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt made her briefing debut on Tuesday, where she sparred with reporters over a federal freeze on grants and made clear that President Donald Trump himself will be the administration's main messenger.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said reported drone sightings that sparked panic in New Jersey last month were drones authorized to fly by the Federal Aviation Administration and “not the enemy.

On social media, users shared theories that range from foreign interference to UFOs to hobbyist activity. The FBI and Department of Homeland Security said there was no evidence" the reported drone sightings posed a threat to national security or public safety or had any foreign connection.

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Trump would open the briefing room to bloggers, podcasters and social-media influencers.

Before taking questions at her first news briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt gave an update she said came “directly” from President Donald Trump.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt read a statement from President Trump which read in part, "this was not the enemy."

The White House is providing an explanation for the drones that were spotted over New Jersey, and all along the East Coast, over the past several months.

US President Donald Trump has signed two executive orders to appoint a new FAA Acting Administrator and order an immediate assessment of aviation safety.

Trump started his briefing with a moment of silence to commemorate the lost lives before his remarks became a blame game.

The National Transportation Safety Board said the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder from the American Airlines jet that collided with the Black Hawk helicopter have been recovered from the wreckage in the Potomac River and are now at the NTSB labs for evaluation.
