Unidentified Drone in New Jersey
The FBI and Department of Homeland Security have issued a statement regarding the recent reports of mysterious drone sightings over New Jersey and adjacent areas, stating that they have seen “no evidence” that the sightings pose a national security or public safety threat.
The agencies also found no evidence of a “foreign nexus” to the drones, and upon reviewing available imagery, many of the reported sightings were actually manned aircraft operating lawfully. Additionally, there have been no reported or confirmed drone sightings in any restricted air space.
The FBI has been investigating reports of what could be dozens of drones operating at night, most of which are larger than those used by hobbyists. Sightings have occurred over the Bedminster, New Jersey, golf course owned by President-elect Donald Trump, as well as near a military research facility.
