Dec 19, 2024, 04:12 PM
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a temporary ban on drone flights over 22 critical infrastructure locations in New Jersey due to 'special security reasons'. The ban, effective until January 17, applies to sites including power stations and military installations. Exceptions require special government approval. The FAA warns that drones posing an 'imminent security threat' may be met with 'deadly force'. The decision comes after weeks of unexplained drone sightings and reports of mysterious bright lights filling the night skies, causing concerns among residents and airlines about potential safety risks during the busy holiday travel season.
