Governor Kathy Hochul has raised alarms over a series of mysterious drone sightings that have recently escalated in New York and New Jersey, leading to temporary closures of airport runways, notably at Stewart International Airport. With increasing reports of drone activity, local police are overwhelmed with calls from citizens concerned about the situation. Hochul is calling for federal intervention and greater authority to tackle these issues, demanding action from the Biden administration. Lawmakers are echoing her sentiments, expressing frustration as the phenomenon continues to disrupt air traffic and raise safety concerns. Experts suggest that while there is significant panic, some fears may be unfounded. Nonetheless, the situation has prompted discussions about enforcing stricter regulations on drone operations as officials investigate the source of these UAV sightings.
