The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has warned Americans not to “shoot down UFOs” because doing so puts pilots and passengers on planes at risk.
The Daily Star writes about this.
Residents are trying to shoot down UFOs, but the FBI has had to warn the public not to do so, considering that in the last few weeks alone, investigators have investigated 5,000 sightings of mysterious aircraft near military bases in New Jersey.
Pilots are increasingly reporting cases of their eyes being lit up with lasers, and military unit leaders fear that locals may go further and open fire. The FBI sent advanced detection technology and trained visual observers to the region to identify the aircraft. According to them, most of these devices are commercial, recreational or government drones, but also piloted planes, helicopters and stars.
The FBI in New Jersey’s largest city, Newark, also urged the public not to open fire on drones.
“This is not only illegal, but also an extraordinary danger to the pilots and passengers of these aircraft,” said Acting Special Agent in Charge Nelson Delgado.
Local police have warned that cases of pilots being blinded with lasers by people who believe they are seeing an unmanned aircraft system have become more common. The situation is so critical that the members of the intelligence committee of the House of Representatives in the US Congress received a secret briefing on this subject.
“We have not discovered anything anomalous, and we do not assess that the activity observed thus far poses a threat to national security or public safety in the civil airspace of New Jersey or other northeastern states,” the FBI said in a joint statement. , the Federal Aviation Administration, and the US Department of Homeland Security and Defense.
We remind you that, for a month, UFO sightings similar to drones have been reported over the state of New Jersey in the USA.
