FAA Bans Drones Over NJ Critical Sites Amid Reports Of Bright, Unexplained Drones In The Night Sky

The Federal Aviation Administration has implemented Temporary Flight Restrictions banning drone flights over critical infrastructure across central and northern New Jersey. The move responds to reports of unexplained and bright drones in the night sky. The restrictions are set to last until January 17th. The FBI and Department of Homeland Security have stated there is no evidence linking the drone sightings to national security or safety threats, nor any indication of foreign involvement. Officials noted that many reports involved manned aircraft misidentified as drones.
