The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a one-month ban on drone operations in certain areas of New Jersey, unless operators receive special permission from the government due to “special security reasons”.
This comes as dozens of night-time drone sightings have been reported across New Jersey and other states along the eastern coast of the US over the last several weeks.
The sightings have occurred in residential areas as well as near a military research and manufacturing facility, causing panic among local residents and sparking various conspiracy theories about their origins.
The FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and other government agencies and officials have repeatedly said that there is no evidence of a threat to public safety.
