Summary

A drone sighting temporarily shut down runways at Stewart International Airport in New York on Friday, part of a string of drone activity since mid-November.

Gov. Kathy Hochul called for federal action, urging Congress to pass the Counter-UAS Authority Act to enhance drone oversight and empower local law enforcement.

Similar sightings in New Jersey prompted investigations by federal agencies, though many reports are suspected misidentified aircraft.

Officials stress the activity isn’t linked to foreign actors but remains irresponsible. Temporary flight restrictions were imposed near sensitive sites, including military bases.

      Ironically enough, it was actually flavor aid. But never the less, people who can take a flight aren’t the enemy. That’s stupid.

        You’re missing the point, because you think it’s about you. You blame the little guy for lashing out, which inconveniences what little you have.

        I get it… I need to get to work, get out of the road.

        But, things don’t change without you. So, get involved or get out of the way.

                I’m sorry that the state of the world is interfering with your journey to grandma’s house.

                  It’s not, and I don’t have grandparents. You see, I was talking about other people. Us, as it were. But I’ll take a sail boat to Cern with all the other evil ruling class researchers next time. 👍🚣‍♂️🚣‍♀️

                    You see, I didn’t mean you, I meant everyone’s trip to grandma’s house. And the ruling class have diesel yachts.
