An Army spokesperson confirmed that a temporary flight restriction is in effect
over Picatinny Arsenal until December 26 due to the increased drone activity.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is also investigating the incidents
and has implemented additional flight restrictions, including over the Trump
National Golf Club in Bedminster.
The rise in unexplained drone sightings has sparked growing public concern. New Jersey
State Senator Joe Pennacchio has called for a federal investigation and even
sent a letter to President-elect Donald Trump urging swift action to address
the lack of clarity surrounding the mysterious drones.
With public pressure growing and concerned citizens filing a skein
reports to authorities, White House national security spokesman John Kirby
attempted to confront the fury. He began his remarks to reporters Monday at a
briefing by pointing to the proliferation of hobbyist drones over the sky.
“There are more than 1 million drones that are lawfully registered with
the Federal Aviation Administration here in the United States, and there are
thousands of commercial hobbyists and law enforcement drones that are lawfully
in the sky on any given day,” Kirby told reporters.
However, former CIA operations officer Laura Ballman speculated that the unidentified
drones might be part of secretive technology tests designed to evade—or
deliberately attract—detection.
