After reports of several mysterious drone sightings, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has temporarily banned drone flights over multiple New Jersey cities. According to a notice posed by the FAA on December 19, unmanned aerial vehicles are prohibited in several New Jersey areas until January 17, 2025. The FAA has labeled the temporary flight restrictions as for “special security reasons.”
The NOTAMs, or Notices to Airmen, lists 22 cities as part of the temporary flight restrictions, including Camden, Elizabeth, Jersey City, and Bridgewater. A Homeland Security spokesperson stressed that there “is no public safety threat relating to the reported drone sightings.”
