The FBI is investigating several reports of suspicious drone flights in central New Jersey, not far from the golf club of Donald Trump, the elected President of the United States. The sighting of these drones over Bedminster has led the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to prohibit flights over this golf club. This ban was implemented after receiving reports of drone sightings on November 18. The FAA has also prohibited flights over the Picatinny Arsenal military base in Morris County. In a joint statement with the state police and the New Jersey Department of Homeland Security, the FBI noted that witnesses reported seeing a series of drones and possibly fixed-wing aircraft. This statement indicates that the reports date back several weeks. The FBI issued the flight ban over Trump's golf club in Somerset County on November 22, which will last until this Friday, while the restriction for the Picatinny Arsenal military base is longer. The FAA has assured that it will take action against potential violators after reviewing reports related to unauthorized drone flights. Drone operators who endanger the safety of aircraft or pedestrians may face fines of up to $75,000 and lose their operating licenses. The FBI has stated that it is reviewing these reports but currently has no specific public information available. Some local residents reported seeing several large drones in the sky that were significantly different from small or commercially common drones.
