Authorities Investigate Drone Sightings Across Northeast

Two Massachusetts men were arrested for operating a drone too close to Logan Airport, amidst a growing number of drone sightings that have raised safety concerns across the East Coast. Lawmakers, including Rep. Mike Waltz and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, are calling for more transparency and regulatory measures as federal agencies struggle to coordinate their response to the drone activity, which has left many questioning the safety and oversight of drone operations. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas confirmed that additional federal resources are being deployed to assist state police, particularly in New Jersey, where drone sightings have also been reported. Local authorities in Saratoga County, New York, are investigating similar sightings but do not consider them dangerous at this time. The situation highlights a potential gap in regulation and communication between local and federal agencies in managing drone operations. As investigations continue, lawmakers are pushing for clearer guidelines and accountability regarding the use of drones in populated areas.
