Mystery Drones Spread from New Jersey to Brooklyn

By Y.M. Lowy

A fleet of mysterious, car-sized drones has sparked alarm as sightings spread from New Jersey to New York City, prompting an urgent investigation by the FBI and other federal agencies.

What began in November near sensitive locations like the Picatinny Arsenal military base and President-elect Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf course has now crept into Staten Island and Brooklyn, leaving both residents and authorities searching for answers.

In Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, at the borders of Boro Park, resident Diane Atkins captured videos showing over 10 drones soaring above the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. “One drone shut all of its lights off and disappeared,” she wrote, adding that others followed aircraft near the local airport.

With sightings growing and theories swirling, the FBI has urged public cooperation, though they report no immediate threats. For now, the mystery remains airborne.
