Federal agencies are facing intense pressure to give the public more details on unexplained drone sightings in the New York City metropolitan area and beyond that have been going on for weeks over residential neighborhoods as well as restricted sites and critical infrastructure.
On Saturday, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey posted on X about the “growing number of drone sightings” there, making her state the latest to report such sightings, joining New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
At a Saturday briefing, officials from the federal agencies leading the response left reporters with more questions than answers. They both downplayed and legitimized concerns about the reported drones.
A Defense Department official said highly trained security personnel have seen drones at Picatinny Arsenal and Naval Weapons Station Earle in New Jersey. The points of origin and operators have not been identified, the official said.
“We don’t know if it’s malicious, if it is criminal. But I will tell you that it is – it is irresponsible,” the official said. “Here on the military side, we are just as frustrated with the irresponsible nature of this activity.”
