The FBI is pleading with the residents in New Jersey, who have been plagued by mysterious drones flying overhead for weeks, to show some temperance and not open fire on the unmanned aircraft.

“FBI Newark and New Jersey State Police want to warn the public about an increase in pilots of manned aircraft being hit in the eyes with lasers because people on the ground think they see an Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). There is also a concern with people possibly firing weapons at what they believe to be a UAS but could be manned aircraft,” reads a joint statement posted on Facebook.
