Mysterious Drone Sightings Across New Jersey Baffle Authorities

Large drones have been spotted nightly in several New Jersey counties, prompting an FBI-led investigation, but officials report no immediate threat to public safety.

  • Reports of large drones, some described as 'car-sized,' have been documented in at least ten New Jersey counties since mid-November, with sightings also extending to parts of New York.
  • The drones have been seen hovering over critical infrastructure, including reservoirs, electric lines, and military facilities, raising concerns among residents and officials.
  • The Federal Aviation Administration has issued temporary flight restrictions over areas including Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster and Picatinny Arsenal, a military research facility, to address security concerns.
  • The FBI, in coordination with local and federal law enforcement, is investigating the origins and purpose of the drones, which remain unidentified, and has urged the public to submit any relevant tips or footage.
  • Officials, including New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, have assured the public that there is no known threat to safety, though the sightings have disrupted activities such as a medevac helicopter operation.
