[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Tucker Carlson reveals shocking 'source of mysterious drones in New Jersey'
The Mail is easily shocked…
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.

'Somebody told me that that the military got one of the orbs, opened it up and it was Chinese,' Shellenberger said.

The GaoJing 1-02 was a commercial satellite used for mapping parts of the Earth that launched at the end of 2016.

It was said to have been decommissioned in early 2023 and floating around in space before burning up in the atmosphere in December.

However, the European Space Agency, which keeps track of all commercial satellites in the sky, showed GaoJing 1-02's mission status as 'Operational' as recently as June 2024, which raises questions about whether it had truly been deactivated.

Shellenberger told Carlson that he 'interviewed a bunch of people' in New Jersey when drones were filling the skies.

Around that time he heard John Kirby, the Defense Department spokesperson, and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas say 'We're definitely not getting any drones over the military bases or other sensitive sites.'

'I was like, "Why would you lie about that,"' Shellenberger told Carlson.

The first drone spotted in New Jersey was over Picatinny Arsenal and on December 13, Naval Weapons Station Earle in Monmouth County reported seeing similar aerial vehicles.
