The eastern United States is seeing a rise in reported drone sightings, with some going beyond New Jersey’s boundaries. However, federal officials say there is no evidence to suggest these drones pose a threat to national security or public safety. According to the officials, most sightings are attributed to people misidentifying planes and helicopters as drones. In an effort to calm public concern, the officials provided an unusual briefing, stating that all reported drone sightings can be explained by law-abiding flying activities.
