The public and elected officials are demanding more answers and clarity after dozens of drones were reported flying over Long Island this weekend.

Locations include Oyster Bay, Huntington Station, Northport, Seaford, West Babylon, Smithtown and Selden.

Suffolk County police said there was one additional report of a drone sighting over the weekend bringing the total to 17 since last Thursday, Dec. 12.

Gov. Kathy Hochul said the federal government is deploying a state-of-the-art drone detection system to New York State to aid investigations into drone activity.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is working to pass a bill that would give local law enforcement more tools for drone detection.

New York State Police said the drones do not threaten the public and Nassau County police believe most of the sightings are for personally owned recreational drones and not what is being reported in New Jersey.

Nassau County police have not yet responded to our request for updated numbers on drone sightings this weekend.
