The FBI has launched an investigation into a series of mysterious drone sightings across New Jersey, with the agency confirming they are actively looking into reports spanning several months. Residents and law enforcement officials have disclosed numerous instances of drones flying unusually low in their neighborhoods and farms, raising concerns about safety and privacy. The reported sightings peaked recently, prompting reactions from both the public and local government officials. As New Jersey Assemblyman Anthony M. Bucco stated, the ongoing drone activity is ‘a cause for concern,’ and he has called for a ‘limited state of emergency’ over the issue. He urged the U.S. Department of Defense to intervene to probe the situation more effectively. The National Guard, as well as local law enforcement agencies, have started to investigate these sightings alongside the FBI, who have described the situation as ‘unusual’ and stated they are taking reports very seriously. The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) has also been involved in addressing the specifications for drone flight, emphasizing airspace safety as a top priority. The implications of these drone activities pose significant questions about potential unauthorized surveillance as well as impacts on both civil liberties and community safety.
