Calling on Federal law enforcement, led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Federal Aviation Administration, to provide an immediate briefing to the public regarding the recent drone activity in New Jersey and New York.
This resolution calls on federal agencies—the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and Federal Aviation Administration—to immediately brief the public about unexplained drone activity reported across New Jersey and New York since late 2024. Residents in at least 10 New Jersey counties have reported sightings of unidentified drones, including some described as large as small cars, with one night in December recording 49 reported sightings. The drones have interfered with emergency operations, including preventing a medical helicopter response and temporarily closing an airport runway, and have been spotted near sensitive sites like military arsenals and water supply infrastructure. While the White House recently stated that many of these drones were government-authorized for research purposes, this resolution demands greater transparency and public disclosure from federal agencies. The resolution also requests that federal law enforcement work with state and local authorities to address unauthorized drone activity and evaluate whether additional security measures are needed to protect critical infrastructure and public safety.
