A drone pilot in New Jersey reported that he lost control of his drone after coming into close proximity to an unidentified drone in restricted military airspace last week.

Michael B.,. a paranormal podcaster and influencer, reported, "There was a drone just hanging out. I had full battery life. Not 3 minutes into the flight, I lost control of the drone."

A warning flashed across his screen and then the battery died, he said.

His drone plummeted into restricted air space, while the unidentified drone kept flying.

What happened?

Drones that fly into restricted air space can be repelled or forced to land according to regulations, so Michael B's drone could have been dropped because of this.

There have been an unusually high number of drones sighted in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and surrounding areas in recent weeks, prompting questions about what might be going on there.

Citizens have repeatedly asked the government to give more information about the drones, but nothing has really been said.

Picatinny Arsenal where the drone was sighted has received a temporary flight restriction until December 26 because of the drone sightings.

The FAA is investigating and has also restricted air space around Trump's Bedminster Golf Club as a precaution.

Alarming

New Jersey state Sen. Joe Pennacchio (R) sent a letter to Trump urging him to investigate the drone sightings.

His colleague Jon Bramnick (R) has called for a limited state of emergency banning all drones until the public receives an explanation regarding these multiple sightings.

While there are always drone sightings from time to time, the proximity and frequency of these sightings have been alarming.

Dozens of people have recorded images of the drones on their phones, but no one knows what the drones are doing there or who might have sent them.

Retired Air Force Major General James Poss, who consults on drones, theorized that the objects might be flying cars, which are in development and don't need to file flight plans with the FAA.
