The mysterious drones spotted flying over parts of New Jersey have raised concern among residents and officials. Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia described the drones as up to 6 feet in diameter and sometimes traveling with their lights switched off. Most of the drones are larger than those typically used by hobbyists.
Dozens of nighttime flights have been reported, with sightings ranging from the New York City area through New Jersey, westward into parts of Pennsylvania. Despite increasing sightings, officials stress that the drones do not pose a threat to public safety.
The FBI is investigating the incidents and has asked residents to share any information they may have. While some lawmakers have called for restrictions on drone flights and even suggested shooting them down, the Pentagon believes the drones are not coming from a foreign entity or adversary.
The origin and purpose of the drones remain unknown, causing speculation and concern among residents. Gov. Phil Murphy has emphasized the seriousness of the situation and urged caution in jumping to conclusions. Further investigations are underway to determine the source and intentions of the mysterious flying objects.
