JAKARTA - This is not a plot of War of the Worlds' that tells the story of Aliens, but the appearance of drones in recent weeks. These drones can be seen in residential areas, forbidden locations, and important infrastructure.
The drone's appearance put pressure on federal agencies to provide more information about the drone.
Officials urged them to remain calm and stressed there was no evidence to suggest the drone sightings pose a security threat.
"I want to convince the American public that we are involved in this," said Home Security Minister Alejandro Mayorkas.
The reported drone activity caused one Stewart International Airport in New York to temporarily close its runway for about an hour on Friday night.
At almost the same time, airspace above Ohio's Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is restricted due to drone activity.
Wright-Patterson includes operas to monitor cyber threats and the 655th Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Group, which oversees 14 intelligence squadrons across the country.
"This is too much," said New York Governor Kathy Hochul on Saturday last week.
He asked the New York State Intelligence Center to actively investigate drone sightings and coordinate with federal law enforcement to address the issue.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he asked DHS to implement a dedicated detection system that uses 360-degree technology to detect drones.
"If there is a technology that allows drones to fly into space, there must be technology that can track the aircraft with precision and determine what is going on," Schumer said on Sunday while discussing the technology.
The FBI and DHS said in a joint statement that there is currently no evidence of reports of drone sightings pose a national security threat or public safety or links with foreign parties.
Despite guarantees from federal officials, local politicians continue to press for more information and resources to investigate the sighting. In Morris County, New Jersey, officials asked the federal government to deploy all of its federal resources, including the military.
"To end unlicensed drone flights in our area and other areas in New Jersey," he said.
