Since the middle of November, witnesses said almost every night, large drones were reportedly flying in formation. They said they could see multiple drones lighting up part of the airspace.

“When I would get up and look out my window at 2 a.m., 4 a.m., they were still hovering,” resident Julie Shavalier said.

The constant sightings have unnerved the community, according to Shavalier.

Many on social media have already begun speculating what the drones are doing. Many have wondered if the objects are some form of surveillance.

A representative with the FBI described the sightings as a “cluster of what look to be drones and a possible fixed-wing aircraft.”

Concern surrounding the drones grew due to their proximity to President-elect Donald Trump’s national golf club, a common stop for the president-elect.

The Morris County Sheriff’s Department updated the public on the investigation on Facebook Monday, Dec. 2. In the post, it reassured the community there’s no safety threat at this time.

The Federal Aviation Administration put a flight restriction in place as the investigation into their origin continues.
