Mysterious drones have been flying over New Jersey, according to people posting across social media platforms in December 2024. Some of the posts suggested they were not human-made drones, but alien unidentified flying objects.

The Federal Aviation Administration continued its drone crackdown Friday, adding 29 cities across New York to the region’s temporary ban of unapproved drones for security concerns, as officials investigate reported drone sightings in the region amid public curiosity about the sightings.

Gov. Phil Murphy says they pose no known threat, but Republican Rep. Jeff Van Drew is calling for the drones to be shot down.

Following the large number of mysterious drone sightings, the Federal Aviation Administration temporarily banned drone flights in 22 areas of New Jersey where critical infrastructure is located. FAA officials said federal security agencies requested the flight restrictions, which are effective through Jan. 17.
