MANASQUAN, New Jersey. Sightings between Manasquan and Point Pleasant Beach in a matter of days have sparked interest and conjecture along the Jersey Shore in response to reports of low-flying drones over the Atlantic Ocean.
Earlier this week, two to three drones were spotted hovering over the ocean, according to Manasquan police dispatch, which described the aircraft as being abnormally near the waterline. Since the drones seemed to be heading north, the sighting was reported to nearby departments, including Asbury Park.
Two days prior, locals had first seen the drones close to Point Pleasant and reported similar activity just off the coast. No early indication of ownership or launch origin has been given by authorities.
The idea that the drones were launched from the ocean has sparked some conjecture, prompting inquiries into their intended use and potential link to naval operations. Officials have not verified this theory or issued any additional information.
The police departments in Asbury Park and Manasquan have not indicated whether an investigation is in progress or recorded any more sightings.
Phil Murphy, the governor of New Jersey, claims that there is no risk to public safety from the drones, but he acknowledges that he has no idea who is using them, why, where they are coming from, or what their goals are.
