EDGEWATER, New Jersey – A rash of unexplained drone sightings in the skies above New Jersey has left locals rattled and sent US officials scrambling for
answers.
“This defendant allegedly flew a drone over a military base and took photos of the base’s layout, which is against the law,” United States Attorney Martin Estrada said. Security personnel at the base, which is the launch site for space missions — including Elon Musk’s SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets — as well as missile tests, traced the drone to a nearby public park where they allegedly found Zhou with the device concealed in his jacket.
The episode comes less than two years after a national security incident that dramatically raised tensions between Washington and Beijing. Sam Lugo, 23, who works in the Club Studio gym in New Jersey’s Bergen county, one of the corners of the state that has seen several drone sightings, called the reports “crazy”.Officials including the governor have called on people not to be alarmed but have not yet offered an explanation for the aerial activity.
The lawmaker then spent “hours” monitoring the night sky with the sheriff of Ocean County, the location of a number of sightings, according to his office.“Our initial assessment is that this is not the work of a foreign adversary or a foreign entity,” said deputy Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Singh.
