Increase in Drone Sightings Calls for Federal Action
Growing Concerns Amidst Increased Drone Activity
Governor Kathy Hochul of New York has voiced her growing frustration over a recent incident involving a drone sighting that led to the temporary closure of Stewart International Airport. The airport, situated around 60 miles north of New York City, halted services for an hour on Friday night after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) raised an alarm about drone sightings at approximately 9:30 p.m.
In a statement from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, officials confirmed that there were no significant disruptions to flight operations during this shutdown.
!drone activity across the state since mid-November. “This situation has escalated beyond acceptable limits,” Gov. Hochul expressed in her remarks made Saturday.
Amid mounting public concern and confusion over multiple reports of drones — particularly concentrated in central New Jersey — Governor Hochul has urged the establishment of an investigation into these incidents by the New York State Intelligence Center. She also called upon Congress to expedite legislation aimed at enhancing FAA’s regulatory authority over drones by pushing through the Counter-UAS Authority Security, Safety, and Reauthorization Act.
Hochul emphasized the need for empowered oversight from local and state law enforcement agencies: “It’s critical we empower our local authorities with necessary resources. If immediate action isn’t taken by Congress to delegate these powers, I ask that federal enforcement be increased in our area.”
Urgent Measures Taken Amidst Uncertainty
Furthermore, security personnel have corroborated visual confirmations of unidentified objects near military installations like Picatinny Arsenal and Naval Weapons Station Earle. Although this has caused alarm among local authorities who stress accountability amongst operators involved without attributing malicious intent towards any international actors thus far:
