FAA Imposes Drone Flight Restrictions in New Jersey Amid Widespread Sightings; FBI Investigates
Dec 21, 2024, 08:00 AM
Unidentified drones have been sighted across several states, including New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia, prompting a significant response from federal and state authorities. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has imposed temporary flight restrictions on drones in multiple locations in New Jersey due to security concerns. The Virginia State Police are investigating over 150 tips related to drone sightings in the state. The Pentagon has deployed counter-drone systems to New Jersey, including active and passive detection capabilities and non-kinetic systems like drone busters. The sightings have led to public concern and speculation, with some officials questioning the government's response and transparency. The FBI has received thousands of reports and is investigating nearly 100 sightings that could not be attributed to manned aircraft.
