Increase in US drone sightings prompts NJ police to call for government intervention.

Several law enforcement agencies in New Jersey are raising concerns over the increasing number of drone sightings reported by residents in the state. A meeting was held on Saturday to address the issue, with Sheriff Shaun Golden of the Monmouth County Sheriff Department highlighting the need for legislation to keep up with the laws and operation of drones. He emphasized that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) must intervene, as local authorities do not have the necessary technology or authority to take down the drones.

Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy of the Ocean County Sheriff Department echoed these sentiments, expressing his department’s frustration over the lack of information regarding the origin of the drones. Speculation has been circulating that the government may be behind the sightings, leading to calls for transparency and accountability. Mastronardy stressed the importance of the government acknowledging their involvement if that is indeed the case.

The mystery surrounding the drones has left many residents and law enforcement officials in New Jersey on edge, prompting calls for action from higher authorities. With no clear answers in sight, the local community is left questioning the motives behind the drone sightings and the potential implications for their privacy and safety. As the debate continues, it remains to be seen whether the government will address these concerns and provide clarity on the situation.
