In recent weeks, multiple reports of drones flying near critical infrastructure, residential areas, and the city skyline have emerged. The drones have been described as small, black quadcopters with blinking lights. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued an advisory, urging drone pilots to stay at least five miles away from the city center and to avoid flying within 400 feet of the ground.

Mayor Andre Dickens has called for an immediate investigation and has urged the public to report any suspicious activity. “The safety and security of our city is paramount,” Dickens said. “We are taking these sightings very seriously and are working closely with law enforcement and the FAA to determine the source and intent of these drones.” Residents have expressed a mix of concern and curiosity about the drones. Some believe they are merely hobbyists, while others fear a more sinister motive. “I’m worried about potential harm to my family and property,” said one resident, who lives near the airport. “We’ve seen them flying very low over our house.” Aviation experts have emphasized the importance of drone safety and regulations. They urge drone pilots to follow the FAA’s guidelines and to be aware of the potential consequences of flying in restricted areas. The investigation into the drone sightings is ongoing, and authorities are urging the public to provide any information they may have.
