An airport in Orange County, New York, was forced to shut down on Friday night as mysterious drone activity blocked the airspace, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced on Saturday, saying, "This has gone too far."
Drones have been spotted in recent weeks across New Jersey and neighboring states, prompting concern among residents and lawmakers and launching investigations by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. The FBI says that it has received over 3,000 tips related to the drone sightings, with most of the purported observations occurring at night.
"Last night, the runways at Stewart Airfield were shut down for approximately one hour due to drone activity in the airspace," Hochul said in a statement on Saturday.
New York Stewart International Airport is located in New Windsor, over an hour's drive north of Manhattan.
