Unexplained Drone Sightings Across U.S. Raise Security and Transparency Concerns

Officials and residents demand answers as mysterious drone activity increases near critical infrastructure and military sites.

Reports of unidentified drones have surged across multiple states, including New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Indiana, with sightings near sensitive sites like military bases and reservoirs.
Local officials, including West Milford's mayor and police chief, expressed frustration over the lack of clear answers from federal agencies, noting that some drones evade detection by standard tracking methods.
The FBI and Homeland Security have attributed many sightings to lawful drones or misidentified objects but have not ruled out illegal or foreign activity, prompting further investigations into about 100 credible reports.
Lawmakers and experts have raised concerns about potential foreign involvement, with some speculating links to Chinese surveillance efforts, though no definitive evidence has been presented.
The federal government has deployed additional detection systems to military sites in New Jersey, while calls for improved drone tracking and clearer communication with the public continue to grow.
