New Jersey

The White House recently reviewed reported drone sightings over New Jersey and the Mid-Atlantic region, finding no evidence of a national security or public safety threat. National Security spokesman John Kirby stated that many drones appeared to be lawfully operated manned aircraft. There were no reports of drones in restricted airspace, and the U.S. Coast Guard found no foreign involvement. While the FBI is investigating the sightings, asking residents to share any evidence, officials emphasized that the drones were not military aircraft. Although the number of sightings has increased, many may have been planes, or the same drone could have been reported multiple times. Concern arose when drones were spotted near sensitive locations such as the Picatinny Arsenal and President-elect Trump’s golf course. Drones are legal in New Jersey for recreational and commercial use, but must follow FAA regulations. Most drones spotted were larger than typical hobbyist models.
