The drone's manufacturer, Amogy Inc., a sustainable energy startup, confirmed it was theirs, stating it had been placed there after a company event a month prior and had been used in a demonstration three years ago.
The Mystery Deepens
This discovery comes amid a recent surge in drone sightings across New York and New Jersey, sparking public concern and speculation. While officials initially offered few answers, Amogy stated the NYPD briefly took possession but returned it after determining it posed no threat. However, a video of the NYPD handling the drone on X (formerly Twitter) garnered millions of views, fueling public skepticism.
Official Statements and Public Reaction
NYPD Deputy Commissioner Rebecca Weiner downplayed the recent activity, emphasizing that the increased reporting doesn't necessarily mean a spike in actual drone incidents. White House officials confirmed investigations are underway, assuring cooperation with local law enforcement. President-elect Trump even chimed in, suggesting more transparency from the government.
What's Next?
Authorities will continue monitoring the situation and responding to reports, as concerns regarding the recent drone sightings persist.
