Mysterious drone sightings across New Jersey and neighboring states have sparked growing concerns among residents and lawmakers.

In addition to sightings in New Jersey, drones have been reported in parts of New York City, Rockland County, and eastern Pennsylvania.
White House National Security spokesman John Kirby added that many of the sightings are believed to involve manned aircraft operating legally, and the government has not been able to verify the reports.

Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York have called for a briefing from the Department of Homeland Security, FBI, and FAA to better understand the situation.
