Drone sightings surge - Activity over military base elsewhere on US East coast

More drones have been sighted elsewhere on the US East coast - among a surge in reports of mysterious flying objects.

The devices have sparked huge speculation and concern across the USA - particularly in New Jersey - with little explanation from authorities, it's been reported.

Now a man has reported seeing drones over Joint Base Cape Cod - a military base in Massachusetts - on multiple occassions.

Shaymus Smith, 54, a project manager from Cotuit, Massachusetts - who lives just eight miles from the base - said he saw unusual lights and drones in the skies on Friday and Saturday.

With similar sightings reported across the United States in recent weeks, Shaymus’s account adds to a growing mystery that has captivated communities.
