Summary

Weeks of reported mysterious drone sightings over New Jersey and other states have sparked security concerns nationwide and have raised many questions about our country’s vulnerabilities. While residents grow anxious by the day, local and national officials aren’t offering many answers about who or what is behind this weird phenomenon. Earlier this week, drone expert, former U.S. Army special ops soldier, and FOX News contributor Brett Velicovich spoke with FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony about the unidentified flying objects over America’s east coast and the fear our nation's adversaries may operate them. Velicohvich discussed how drone technology has evolved over the years, what can be done to track or disable rogue pilotless aircraft, and why a complex web of laws and regulations makes it difficult for officials to act on this current situation. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with drone expert Brett Velicovich, allowing you to learn even more about drones, their capabilities, and the threat they can potentially pose to Americans.
