Mysterious drones shut down runways of NY airport, causing Hochul to demand feds step in: ‘Gone too far’
New York Post ^ | Dec. 14, 2024, | Chris Harris

The mysterious drones that have been plaguing the skies over the Northeast shut down the runways of Stewart International Airport Friday night, prompting Gov. Hochul to demand the feds step in.

“This has gone too far,” Hochul said in a terse statement Saturday, in which she noted the runway of the Orange County facility was shut down for an hour because of the unidentified aircraft.

Stewart Airport services both commercial and military flights and is adjacent to a New York Air National Guard base, where the 105th Airlift Wing is stationed.

...

The unidentified drones — which have been hovering over New Jersey for nearly a month and have been seen in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts — were also recently spotted flying over LaGuardia International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport.

...

The runways were closed at 9:40 p.m. “following a report from the FAA about a drone sighting at the airport,” according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates Stewart.

The runways were reopened at 10:45 p.m., “and there were no impacts to flight operations during the closure,” the spokesperson told The Post.

The Biden Administration should give federal law enforcement support to the region “to ensure the safety of our critical infrastructure and our people,” Hochul demanded, adding she “directed the New York State Intelligence Center to actively investigate drone sightings” back in mid-November.

She also urged the state police “to coordinate with federal law enforcement to address this issue.”

...

Drone sightings have also been reported across the five boroughs as well as on Long Island.

Most of the sightings have occurred in New Jersey, where scores of drones have been spotted by Coast Guard sailors and local cops.

Wasn’t she one of the lockdown tyrants who used bogus declarations of emergency to stomp the hobnailed boot of uncontrolled government onto the fear-filled faces of a helpless citizenry?

Expect then the fell powers of the state to fall swiftly upon innocent private owners of drones, mere hobbyists included.

Or maybe I’m thinking of someone else.

Agree, the only reason they fly with lights on.

It seems to be out of control- Democrat senators, governors and others are calling Biden out, yet we hear nothing from him and lies from is surrogates.

WTH?

As I posted on another thread, I’m leaning towards the idea that these “drones” are actually very sophisticated holograms. They often tend to be described as “floating” when they’re not making some kind of direct motion, and they don’t seem to actually DO anything besides look ominous in the sky. It seems more like a presentation, than an invasion.

It’s the sort of thing producers of a movie about “killer drones” would do to gin up publicity, using Elon-level technology.

I am wondering, not saying, that this could be hysteria and look a squirrel.
