Reports have circulated in recent days from residents in Temecula who say they’re seeing unexplained flying objects hovering over the area just north of San Diego County.
The sightings follow increasing observations from residents in New Jersey and other East Coast cities about mysterious large drones in the skies at night.
There’s no word on who is flying them or why, and there is no indication of any illegal activity. But given the attention generated by the East Coast sightings, the reports, which have some residents on edge, have led numerous officials to deny responsibility for drone operations in the affected regions.
Officials at Camp Pendleton issued a statement this week saying it is aware of residents reporting drone flights, while adding that none of the drones are associated with the U.S. Marine Corps base.
A person in Temecula posted a video on TikTok earlier this week, showing several illuminated drones hovering over the area.
“There’s so many. There’s like 10. And they’re all over the city,” the person can be heard saying on the video.
