Drones, planes or UFOs? New Jersey residents react to sightings
That buzzing coming out of New Jersey? It's unclear if it's drones or something else, but for sure the nighttime sightings are producing tons of talk and a raft of conspiracy theories. Some politicians have urged shooting down unmanned aircraft. But, law enforcement authorities said the aircraft pose no threat to the public and shooting them down would endanger people on the ground. One FBI agent called it all an “overreaction.”■Class discussion: The FAA has registered 855,860 unmanned aircraft that weigh more than half a pound. Most drones are used for recreation. There also are more than 200,000 manned U.S. civil aircraft. Do you think its likely that if you might spot aircraft if you look at the sky? Could a report of seeing lights in the night sky could go viral and cause many more anxious people to look up? Do you think the sightings are the result of a secret plot? Why or why not?
