The Federal Aviation Administration has imposed new temporary flight restrictions on drones over parts of nine additional New Jersey towns.

For weeks, hundreds of New Jersey residents have reported seeing mystery drones in the sky, leading to fears there is a national security threat in the US state.

The Federal Aviation Administration continued its drone crackdown Friday, adding 29 cities across New York to the region’s temporary ban of unapproved drones for security concerns, as officials investigate reported drone sightings in the region amid public curiosity about the sightings.

While the FAA has restricted airspace access for drones over much of New Jersey, it’s also posted a video that might help people figure out which flying objects might be a plane, helicopter, or properly registered and authorized drone that’s just following the rules.
