Residents of New Jersey have reported numerous sightings of drones in recent weeks, with some drones observed near sensitive locations like a military research facility. The FBI has launched an active investigation into these mysterious drone sightings, which have also been reported in New York, Pennsylvania, and parts of greater Philadelphia. A New Jersey state senator has called for a 'limited state of emergency' in response to the drone activity. Public officials, including lawmakers from New Jersey, are demanding answers and a stronger federal response, with some expressing frustration over the perceived lack of action from federal authorities. The drones appear to avoid detection by traditional methods, and there is growing concern over potential threats to national security, the economy, and intellectual property. Homeland Security has shared new details about the drone flights with lawmakers, indicating the seriousness with which the issue is being treated. Dozens of reports are being made each night, and the drones have even trailed a Coast Guard vessel off New Jersey, according to lawmaker Dawn Fantasia.
