Local officials, including the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office, have urged residents to report any sightings and avoid approaching or handling drones if they land
A barista in New Jersey claims to have witnessed a drone roughly the size of a small car hovering over a local golf course. This sighting is part of a series of mysterious drone appearances reported in the area, with videos of these drones circulating online. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), along with local and state law enforcement, is investigating the incidents but has yet to clarify the drones’ origins or purposes. Authorities have reassured the public that there is no immediate threat to safety.
Local officials, including the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office, have urged residents to report any sightings and avoid approaching or handling drones if they land. Meanwhile, the drones’ presence has raised concerns about safety, particularly when they interfere with critical operations, such as an instance where drone activity disrupted a helicopter airlift for a medical emergency.
Experts note that drones are usually equipped with GPS identification, making it theoretically possible to track their operators. However, the sightings’ timing—often at night—and locations, such as near critical infrastructure, have heightened public and official interest. The investigation continues as authorities work to identify the individuals or organisations behind these flights and determine whether they comply with federal drone regulations.
