Mysterious Drone Sightings Spark Concern in East Coast

Recent reports indicate nearly 1,000 drone sightings in New Jersey in less than a month, with officials and residents expressing concern over the identity and purpose of these unmanned aircraft. Drones measuring up to 6 feet in diameter have been spotted across various counties, prompting a response from state lawmakers and calls for transparency from federal authorities, including President-elect Trump. While the FBI and Department of Homeland Security assert that there is no public safety threat and many sightings may be misidentified manned aircraft, local officials remain uneasy and fear that residents may take matters into their own hands. Gun sales have reportedly surged as some citizens purchase firearms out of concern over the drones. The FAA has issued temporary flight restrictions over certain locations, including Trump's golf club, in response to the ongoing sightings. As investigations continue, officials are urging residents to share any footage or information they may have about the drones.
