I understand the last thing the governor wants to do is cause a panic, but given the lack of knowledge, I know how some people are spooked out about this.

A new Facebook page has been created for this "event."

It's called "New Jersey Mystery Drones—let's solve it." As of this writing, over 8,000 people are following it.

Speculation and sightings on social media are running wild.

Residents in ten New Jersey counties have now contacted authorities to report drones flying high and not so high.

Patch reports that police in Monmouth County are asking officials to report sightings to the FBI. Monmouth is not alone. 

Sightings have moved south to Ocean County. Folks in Brick, Toms River, Point Pleasant, and Manchester claim to see the drones.

In Brick, there was a report of one of these drones being chased by a fighter jet. The

The U.S. Air Force is denying this happened.

I saw this statement from the Pt. Pleasant Beach Police Department that went into further detail.

There's a good possibility that news of a few drone sightings that started the speculation spread like wildfire, causing more and more people to fly drones and create panic.

The FBI and New Jersey State Police are asking residents to call 1-800-CALL-FBI to report drone sightings and any additional information they may have.

Photos and videos are helpful as well.
