MAPLEWOOD, N.J. — President-elect Donald Trump said the government should disclose more information about the recent drone sightings in New Jersey. "Something strange is going on," he said. Residents of New Jersey have reported seeing drones in the sky nearly every night since Nov. 18, a senior official briefed on the drones told NBC News last week. The Pentagon, which has said the drones aren't U.S. military-operated, has denied the drones were linked to Iran. In a joint statement last week, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security said there is "no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus."

Two men were arrested in Boston over the weekend for flying a drone “dangerously close” to Logan International Airport as investigations into objects in the sky continue across the East Coast. Authorities said that a Boston police officer specializing in crime surveillance detected an unmanned aircraft system operating near the airport and identified the drone’s location. The arrests come as drone sightings have been reported across the country, in some instances prompting airport closings, leading lawmakers and the FAA to call for more oversight. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Sunday requested that the Department of Homeland Security send a drone detection system to New York and New Jersey, after a number of drone sightings in the Northeast. “There are thousands of drones flown every day in the United States, recreational drones, commercial drones.
