He questioned how these drones could appear without the government's knowledge.
"Mysterious drones are everywhere in the country. Is it possible that this is really happening without the knowledge of our government? I don't think so! Let the public know and do it now. If not, shoot them down!" Trump wrote.
In particular, there are fears that these drones could carry hazardous materials or even pose a threat to flights. They have reportedly been seen in several states, including New Jersey, New York, Maryland, and Connecticut.
According to TMZ, some New Jersey politicians are furious with the federal government's response to the recent wave of drone reports, and a Tennessee congressman has also spoken out harshly about the government's response - or lack thereof.
Several lawmakers said they wanted the federal government to take action, otherwise their constituents might solve the problem on their own and allegedly accidentally shoot down an airplane instead of a drone.
Politicians from New Jersey and Burchett warn that ordinary citizens may start taking matters into their own hands and using guns to shoot down these flying machines.
The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security issued a joint statement on drone sightings in New Jersey: "After reviewing the available imagery, it appears that many of the reported incidents are in fact manned aircraft operating legally. There have been no reported or confirmed incidents of drone sightings in restricted airspaces.

In Germany, unidentified drones have been spotted flying over important industrial facilities in Germany in recent weeks, including the US Air Force Ramstein military base, the arms company Rheinmetall, and the chemical concern BASF.
