Unidentified unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been spotted in the northeastern United States after the country's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) lifted temporary restrictions on drone flights. This was reported by NBC News on January 27.

It noted that the temporary restrictions on drone flights in New Jersey and New York were lifted on January 19.

Then, on December 13, then US President-elect Donald Trump accused the White House of withholding information about drones over the states and called for them to be shot down. Then it also became known about an unknown drone that flew several times over a US Navy weapons depot in the state of New Jersey.

Also on Friday, the Federal Aviation Administration imposed a temporary ban on drone flights in 30 areas of New York, and before that - a ban on UAV flights over 22 areas of New Jersey, reported NBC New York.
