New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy writes to President Joe Biden asking for federal help investigating drone sightings.

The White House and FBI say some of the mystery drones might actually be manned aircraft.

Some New Jersey and Pennsylvania officials aren't buying it, and are demanding more transparency.

The drone sightings have become the latest talking point among candidates in the New Jersey governor's race.

Kim also signed a letter with fellow lawmakers requesting a briefing on how the federal agencies were working to identify and address the source of the drones.

“People deserve answers,” Kim said in a statement. “We don’t need conspiracy theories or conjecture, we need assurances that the people charged with keeping us safe are on top of this issue.
