Growing Concerns Over Unidentified Drones Prompt Calls for Federal Action

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has urged President Biden to allocate more resources to investigate mysterious drone sightings across several northeastern states, including New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. Despite assurances from the White House and Pentagon that the drones are not linked to malicious activities or military operations, local officials are concerned about their unknown origins and potential safety risks. Murphy has also called for better regulation of unmanned aircraft systems, especially as New Jersey prepares to host the FIFA World Cup Final in 2026.
