Mystery of large UAV appearing in the US

Many residents in several counties in the state of New Jersey (USA) have often witnessed large unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) at night since November 18.

According to technology news site The Verge on December 7, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) office in Newark and Morris County officials (in the state of New Jersey) issued a joint statement asking the public to provide information about the mysterious UAVs' activities, including videos . "There is currently no threat to public safety," according to the statement.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy said his office is actively monitoring the situation.

The drones were caught on camera by residents in several counties across New Jersey, mostly at night. Some witnesses said the drones flew back and forth across the night sky for “hours.”

"We tried to differentiate. But then the object in the sky started behaving strangely and we quickly realized that it was actually a drone," one TikTok user shared.

“We are working with a number of law enforcement partners to determine what is going on,” FBI spokeswoman Amy Thoreson told NJ.com . She added that witnesses had spotted an object that looked like a UAV and a fixed-wing aircraft. “We have had reports from the public and law enforcement going back several weeks,” she said.

"We have recently become aware of large, military -style drones flying over certain areas of New Jersey over the past several weeks. We have also received information from residents and the media that UAVs have been flying over Staten Island over the past several days," Fox News reported on December 8, citing a letter written by Vito Fossella, the borough chief of Staten Island (New York state, USA) to the FBI and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The origin of the large UAVs remains a complete mystery. Following the reports, the FAA banned UAVs from flying over President-elect Donald Trump’s New Jersey golf course.

“We review all reports of unauthorized UAV activity and investigate as necessary,” the FAA said in a statement.
