Tucker Carlson has made a shocking claim about the mysterious drones that plagued New Jersey for over a month, saying they were controlled by Chinese mothership satellite.
The first sightings appeared over the Picatinny Arsenal in Rockaway and President-elect Donald Trump‘s golf course in Bedminster in November, followed by thousands more in the skies.
While the US government was quick to dismiss claims they were foreign adversaries, Carlson claimed he was told otherwise.
He said ‘an intel person’ told him that the drones ‘were in fact Chinese,’ explaining the US government took down a Chinese satellite ‘that was a command and control satellite for these drones.’
Carlson appeared to be hinting at a Beijing-operated satellite known as GaoJing 1-02 which fell from space on December 21.
Astronomers tracking such devices confirmed the Chinese satellite re-entered Earth’s atmosphere above New Orleans and headed north towards Mississippi, Arkansas and Missouri before burning up in the atmosphere.
But Carlson claimed it was ‘taken down by the US government.’
He made the claims while speaking with independent journalist Michael Shellenberger, who heard a similar explanation for the drones.
