Summary
A drone sighting temporarily shut down runways at Stewart International Airport in New York on Friday, part of a string of drone activity since mid-November.
Gov. Kathy Hochul called for federal action, urging Congress to pass the Counter-UAS Authority Act to enhance drone oversight and empower local law enforcement.
Similar sightings in New Jersey prompted investigations by federal agencies, though many reports are suspected misidentified aircraft.
Officials stress the activity isn’t linked to foreign actors but remains irresponsible. Temporary flight restrictions were imposed near sensitive sites, including military bases.
UFOs with proper FAA regulation lighting.
There’s video of a rather large UAV that crashed in the middle of New Jersey at night in the median strip of a highway.
If we find anything out I think we’re going to find that it’s a military vehicle and somebody hired a swarm out to spread FUD so nobody would see what they were actually doing.
Also, I have yet to see any reasonable credible footage outside of Jersey City. There’s people posting pictures of helicopters doing night landings and airliners. I followed up on a lead last night where someone said look at this beach cam, I pulled up ADSB exchange and could easily see registered air traffic for every light in the area.
