The US Federal Aviation Administration prohibited drone flights over several parts of New Jersey as public hysteria over sightings continues to persist.

The agency has published 22 temporary flight restrictions over critical infrastructure in the state, according to a statement on Thursday, adding that it was instituting the ban “at the request of federal security partners.”
