Unidentified drones close runways at Stewart Airport in New York state for nearly an hour
16
In the United States, there has been renewed talk of strange unidentified flying objects in the skies above the country. And if earlier these were allegedly Chinese balloons, now someone's balloons are flying in the American skies. Drones.
It has gotten to the point that some airports have begun to close runways. In particular, Governor Kathy Hochul of the state announced the closure of the runways of Stewart International Airport in New York State for almost an hour.
Hochul, noting that this has all gone too far, called on the US Congress to approve a bill that would strengthen the fight against illegal use drones at the state level.
In the meantime, the governor has asked federal authorities to send additional forces to New York City and surrounding regions to ensure the safety of citizens and critical infrastructure.
Earlier, the FBI said that authorities do not yet know the origin of the drones flying in the skies over New Jersey and New York. And the Pentagon added that there is no evidence that there is a threat to public safety.
It is worth saying that it is strange to hear something like this if the authorities really do not know what kind of drones these are and whose they are.
