## Resource

Unexplained drone activity across New York and New Jersey has triggered thousands of reports, federal investigations, and growing public concern. While officials claim there is no national security threat, key questions remain unanswered. Drone expert and Marine veteran John Ferguson, founder of Saxon Aerospace, joins Steel News to break down what these drones are really doing, who may be operating them, and whether Americans are being told the full truth. Are these routine operations—or something far more strategic?
