Excerpt:Government agencies issued a joint statement on Monday on the ongoing investigation into the mysterious drone sightings reported across the country, mostly in New Jersey and the mid-Atlantic region, over the past few weeks.
In the statement penned by the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Defense, the agencies said while they “recognize the concern,” there is no evidence that the drones are “anomalous” or a threat to national security or public safety.
The FBI has received more than 5,000 reports of alleged drone sightings in “the last few weeks,” generating approximately 100 leads, according to the statement.
Advanced detection technology and trained visual observers were sent to the northeastern states to assist local and state authorities with investigating.
