US residents had recently reported multiple incidents of sighting mysterious drones and orbs in the skies above the eastern part of the US.

A Reddit user told the Express US, "I started noticing the objects about 20 minutes into the flight and then towards the end of the flight. The objects show more detail than I noticed with my naked eye."

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Homeland Security previously said in a statement that the flying objects do not pose any threat to public safety.

But earlier this month, the Federal Aviation Administration banned drone flights in 22 areas in New Jersey and in 30 areas of New York, these were the places where critical infrastructure could be found.
