SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. — Confusion and frustration over drone sightings along the East Coast are reaching a boiling point, as reports of the mysterious flying objects continue to pour in.
In Seaside Heights, New Jersey, NBC News had direct access to surveillance efforts by the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department on Friday evening.
“Realistically, once we find out where they’re coming from or where they’re going, we’ll have a better idea of who’s doing it,” Anthony D’Amico, an Ocean County detective said.
D’Amico used a tethered drone connected to a power source that has the ability to fly 200 feet straight into the air. Attached, it has a thermal camera that captures images undetectable by the human eye.
NBC News witnessed several fast-flying objects Friday that appeared to be moving much faster than commercial planes on the police thermal cameras.
