For weeks now, drones have been spotted flying at night around Morris County, sometimes traveling in groups, leaving neighbors on edge and frustrated over the lack of information about who's operating them.
Eyewitnesses have reported the drones flying and participating near the Buton Reservoir and above two interstate highways.
Residents in Chester, East Hanover, Mendham and near Morristown Airport say the drones hover above their homes, sometimes for an unsettling amount of time.
The FBI has confirmed it is investigating the activity and is asking folks to report any sightings.
While the FAA has banned all drone flights over the nearby Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster and Picatinny Arsenal military base in Rockaway.
Local and county police departments have issued warnings to residents asking them not to approach or handle the drones if they land, but also added there is no threat to the community right now.
Meanwhile, conspiracy theories are running rampant on social media, as you can imagine, from foreign spy cams to it all being a hoax and of course, even a possible alien invasion.
