New Jersey residents are expressing frustration over a series of mysterious drone sightings in the skies above their homes, with some individuals threatening to take matters into their own hands if answers are not provided by the government.
A video shared on social media by a Jersey Shore realtor, James Ward, captured what he described as 'SUV-size drones' above Island Beach State Park. The footage showed multiple lights hovering in the sky, prompting questions about the nature and purpose of these drones.
Concerned residents have taken to social media to voice their opinions, with some suggesting drastic measures such as shooting down the drones to trace them back to their operators. However, experts caution that shooting down a drone is illegal under federal law, as it is considered sabotage of an aircraft.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has emphasized that unauthorized or unsafe operation of any aircraft, including drones, is strictly prohibited. While the sightings have raised alarm among residents, it is important to adhere to legal guidelines when dealing with such situations.
As the investigation into the drone sightings continues, residents are urged to report any suspicious activity to the appropriate authorities and refrain from taking matters into their own hands. The FAA remains committed to ensuring the safety and security of the airspace, and will work to address any concerns raised by the community.
