Washington, D.C. – Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE) released the following statement after recent sightings of unclaimed drones in Western Nebraska and Eastern Colorado:

“I have reached out to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) about finding the source of these unidentified drones and am concerned there seems to be no clear assessment of their source.

I appreciate the work of federal, state, and local officials to address these concerns and encourage Nebraskans to promptly contact local law enforcement with detailed accounts of confirmed future sightings.”
