Drone activity forced a New York runway to temporarily shut down Friday night. Former Republican Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland says he personally witnessed “dozens of large drones” flying above his home last Thursday evening. He wrote on X: “We are being told that neither the White House, the military, the FBI, or Homeland Security have any idea what they are, where they come from, or who has launched or is controlling them—and that they pose no threat. That response is entirely unacceptable.”
For weeks, objects that appear to be drones have been seen in the night skies, primarily in New Jersey but also in New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Ohio. Mysterious drones are being reported over American air bases in the UK and Germany as well. Some are blaming Russia, China, Iran, hobbyists, and even aliens for the strange sightings.
Last Thursday, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security released a joint statement declaring, “We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus.” However, the agencies still do not know the identity of the UAPs (unidentified anomalous phenomena), admitting that the reported sightings “highlight the insufficiency of current authorities,” though they believe many are manned aircraft rather than drones.
Yesterday, federal authorities repeated assurances that the drones are not a security threat, but they still do not know where they came from or who is responsible. However, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas pointed to a rule change by the FAA in 2023 that allows drones to fly at night, stating, “That may be one of the reasons why now people are seeing more drones than they did before, especially from dawn to dusk.” More Here
