A top White House national security adviser on Thursday dismissed concerns about unidentified drone sightings over New Jersey, according to The New York Post.

Locals in the Garden State this week reported seeing unidentified aircraft flying in the air near the state turnpike. The US Army's Picatinny Arsenal, located in Morris County, reported almost a dozen possible drone sightings.

"We have not been able to, and neither have state and local law enforcement authorities, been able to corroborate any of the reported visual sightings," White House national security communications adviser John Kirby said in a press conference on Thursday.
