Mysterious drone sightings continue to be reported across New Jersey, with videos from local residents being shared on social media as state and federal officials work to investigate their origin. The sightings have been reported in various locations, including Hunterdon County, Monmouth, Ocean counties, and Philadelphia-area townships like Cherry Hill and Evesham. Officials have stated that the drones do not pose a known threat to public safety. Local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies are collaborating to investigate the sightings.
A video from Bergen County showed lights that appeared to come from a mysterious drone flying at a low altitude. The Federal Aviation Administration recently issued a temporary flight restriction prohibiting drone flights over certain areas in New Jersey, including the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster and the Picatinny Arsenal military facility in Morris County, at the request of federal security partners.
