New BUZZ Around Mystery *DRONES*. BREAKING NEWS!

More mysterious drone sightings have been reported in Northeast, in a strange surge after the Federal Aviation Administration lifted temporary flight restrictions following thousands of reported drone sightings late last year.

The sightings last year, reported in November and December in New York, New Jersey and other nearby states prompted airport closures, led to arrests and triggered calls from lawmakers and the FAA for more oversight.

The sightings appeared to slow down after the FAA in December imposed temporary flight restrictions on drone flights in New Jersey and New York that lifted in some areas on Jan. 19.

Since the restrictions lifted, more reports of sightings from Connecticut to New Jersey have emerged.

Enigma Labs, a research company studying unidentified phenomena, has tallied 650 sightings nationally described as drone-related since November, with most concentrated in the Northeast.

Enigma reported a drop in report numbers immediately following the ban. But just this month Enigma received 49 reports in New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Virginia — 14 of which came after the flight bans expired.

“You look at the reports that people are submitting. They’re saying, you know, ‘I’m still seeing them, ban or no ban, and they’re happening,’” Enigma spokesperson Christine Kim told NBC's "TODAY" show on Monday.

Enigma shared videos sent in by locals showing lines of flashing red lights beaming in the night sky, multiple in close proximity to each other over neighborhoods.

On Sunday, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) confirmed the return of the drones at an unrelated press conference in New York.
