There are calls for new laws around addressing dangerous drone activity after thousands of mysterious sightings were reported in several US states.
Mysterious drones have been spotted flying over parts of New Jersey and several other US states, leading to pressure on federal and state authorities to find out what is behind these unmanned aerial vehicle sightings.
Sightings have also been reported in New York City, resulting in the runways at Stewart International Airport being shut down for about an hour on Friday night.The Federal Aviation Administration is the federal government agency which regulates civil aviation, including drone activity. Last week, Pentagon spokesperson Major General Pat Ryder said the military's initial assessment — that the drones were not of foreign origin — remained unchanged.Photo shows Donald Trump in front of a wall of American flags.
Trump has called for the drones to be shot down, while the governors of New Jersey, Maryland and New York have asked for more answers from the federal government. Democratic senator Chuck Schumer has called for action to make it easier for federal, state and local authorities to work together to detect and "bring down" any drones seen to pose a threat.
