FBI needs your help to crack mystery drone case

The FBI is asking for the public’s assistance in unraveling the mystery of dozens of recent nighttime drone sightings, a bureau spokeswoman said Tuesday.

After two weeks of reports of drones flying at night over northern New Jersey, often in groups, the bureau publicized a phone number and website for gathering more reports “related to the recent sightings of possible drones flying in several areas along the Raritan River.”

Witnesses have spotted a cluster of what look to be drones and a possible fixed-wing aircraft, the FBI said in a news release along with the New Jersey State Police and New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness.

“We’re asking the public to contact us through our 800 line or tips.fbi.gov,” said bureau spokeswoman Amy J. Thoreson. The tips line is 1-800-CALL-FBI (800-225-5324). For online reports, click on “submit a tip” and then use the “other FBI crimes” tab.
