There have been "multiple" instances of drones entering the airspace at a Navy weapons station in New Jersey, officials said, as concern continues to grow over sightings.

Summary

Officials at Naval Weapons Station Earle in Colts Neck, New Jersey, confirmed multiple instances of unidentified drones entering the airspace above the base, though no direct threats have been identified.

Residents across northern New Jersey have reported sightings of large drones near critical infrastructure, including military sites, since mid-November.

Sen. Andy Kim, along with other lawmakers, has called for a federal investigation, urging the FBI and DHS to address public safety concerns and provide transparency.

The White House stated most drones appear lawful, but investigations are ongoing.
