Federal officials extend New Jersey drone ban to parts of New York

Move is in response to continuing reports of mysterious drone flights and speculations into their origins

Federal aviation authorities have extended a month-long drone ban over New Jersey to parts of New York state as mysterious overflights continue to roil the population despite official efforts to tamp down wild speculation about their origins.

A new temporary ban covers parts of Brooklyn, Queens and two communities on Long Island. New York's governor, Kathy Hochul, said the overflight ban included some of New York's critical infrastructure sites".
