'Drone' sightings in the Northeast spark 'unfounded' panic, says expert
Fox News
A former Port Authority police official explained to Fox News some simple reasons why the "drone" panic is persisting despite assurances from public officials.
More recently, lawmakers in New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Maryland have reported new alleged drone sightings in their home states, with some witnesses alleging the aircraft in question have been the "size of cars" or seen flying above sensitive infrastructure or in restricted airspace. Breanne Deppisch is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital covering the 2024 election and other national news.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, told reporters on Friday he had written to President Biden to share his concerns about the fresh reports of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) sightings in New Jersey airspace, and called for more federal resources to investigate the issue.
"It has become apparent that more resources are needed to fully understand what is behind this activity," Murphy wrote in the letter.
