DronesPilots of aircraft that have been misidentified as drones — amid an uptick of mysterious sightings in recent days — have been hit in the eyes with lasers, the FBI revealed Monday.

“FBI Newark and New Jersey State Police want to warn the public about an increase in pilots of manned aircraft being hit in the eyes with lasers because people on the ground think they see an Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS),” the FBI’s field office in Newark said in a statement posted to the social platform X.

“There is also a concern with people possibly firing weapons at what they believe to be a UAS but could be a manned aircraft,” it added.

Drone sightings have rattled multiple states in the Northeast, most notably New Jersey, over the past month. Federal government officials said Monday that recent drone sightings have included a combination of “lawful” drones, other aircraft and stars.

“We recognize the concern among many communities,” the Federal Aviation Administration, FBI, Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defense said in a joint statement.
