Several drones were reportedly spotted in the skies above a Connecticut suburb, United States, on Thursday night.
Fox News reports that the development adds to recent sightings that have perplexed residents and raised questions about possible national security and public safety concerns.
The report stated that a social media user on X posted videos of possible drones in Fairfield, 55 miles northeast of New York City.
Drones hovering over New Jersey and near Staten Island, New York, in recent weeks have raised concerns due to a lack of clarity over their origin.
One X user filmed what she said were at least five drones in the sky over the Fairfield, Connecticut, train station.
“They all just went by each other,” she’s heard saying off-camera. “They’re at different levels. My husband has a drone. They don’t fly this far and this quietly.”
However, U.S. authorities earlier this week denied the drones were launched from an Iranian “mothership” off the U.S. East Coast.
Meanwhile, John Kirby, White House national security communications adviser, said many of the purported drone sightings spotted over New Jersey in the past several weeks are actually lawfully operated manned aircraft.
“We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus,” Kirby told reporters at the daily White House press briefing.
The FBI and Department of Homeland Security said they would continue to investigate the situation.
