Large drones are flying over New Jersey at night and no one knows why

For more than a week, New Jersey residents have been seeing UFOs in the northern part of the state, including Morris County and Newark — and now officials are urging people to calm down.

The FBI’s Newark office, along with Morris County officials, recently issued a statement asking the public to share any information they may have about the mysterious drones, while reiterating that there is “no known threat” to the public. And NJ Governor Phil Murphy said his office is closely monitoring the situation.

Drones have been captured on camera by residents in many places in the state, especially at night. Some photos and videos shared on news media and social media show strange aircraft with wings that look like small planes (or “car-sized drones”). Others appear to be groups of consumer-grade copters.

The drones flew back and forth for “hours,” some witnesses said. Following these reports, the FAA banned drones from flying over President-elect Donald Trump’s golf course in New Jersey, NJ.com reports.
