Military Drones Could Be Trying to Find 'Radioactive Material'—Aerospace CEO

The recent epidemic of reported drone sightings across New York and New Jersey could be due to potential "gas leaks" or "radioactive material," one subject matter expert has said.

Reports of mysterious drone sightings in multiple states have drawn widespread attention from lawmakers and members of the public in recent weeks. John Ferguson, the CEO of Saxon Aerospace, a drone manufacturer in Kansas, weighed in on the topic in a TikTok post that has gone viral.

The FBI said it has received more than 3,000 tips regarding drone sightings, with the majority of these reported observations happening at night.

In his nine-minute video, Ferguson offered an "assessment of the drones," saying the only reason an unmanned aircraft would be flown at night was if its operator was "looking for something."
