(Adnkronos) – Drone sightings off the east coast of the United States continue, to the point that President Joe Biden’s administration has had to deploy additional resources to address the issue. Additional personnel and technology have been mobilized to support New Jersey law enforcement, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in an interview with Abc. “There’s no question that the people are seeing drones,” Mayorkas said, stressing however, that there is no evidence of “foreign involvement” in the sightings.
While some of the sightings did indeed turn out to be of drones, others were manned aircraft, the secretary explained. “I want to assure the American public that we are working,” he added, reiterating that thousands of drones fly over the United States every day, for which the Federal Aviation Administration (Faa) last year changed the rules to allow them to fly at night.
Reports and discussions about possible drones in the skies of the East Coast, particularly in the states of New Jersey and Maryland, have been going on for days. The mysterious phenomenon began in November, when an unmanned flying object was spotted near a military facility in New Jersey.
