Unexplained Drone Activity Alarms Northeast as Officials Seek Answers

Mysterious drones, some as large as SUVs, have been spotted nightly across New Jersey and neighboring states, prompting federal investigations and growing public concern.

  • Drones have been reported in at least 12 New Jersey counties and nearby states, with sightings occurring nightly since mid-November and described as coordinated and highly unusual.
  • Federal agencies, including the FBI and DHS, claim there is no evidence of a national security threat or foreign involvement, though many officials and residents remain unconvinced.
  • Local leaders, including New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, have called for increased federal resources, transparency, and action, with some lawmakers urging the drones be taken down if necessary.
  • Witnesses, including Senator Andy Kim, report drones performing advanced maneuvers, going dark when approached, and avoiding detection by conventional methods like radio frequencies and infrared cameras.
  • The drones have raised safety concerns, with reports of interference in air traffic and critical infrastructure, but existing laws limit state and local authorities' ability to respond effectively.
