Drone sightings, initially going viral over New Jersey, have now been reported across multiple counties across the Charlotte region, including Gaston, Lincoln, and Mecklenburg.
Local residents have been posting images and videos of the drones nightly for the past three days, typically around or after sunset. The sightings are sparking widespread concern and speculation, especially due to a lack of transparency from authorities.
The FBI recently issued a public statement, warning Americans, especially those in the South, against attempting to shoot them down or point lasers at them.
Here are just a few of the recent posts of drone sightings over Charlotte:

Last night, Charlotte resident Laura Graziano said she spotted a drone over the light rail near the Lowe’s corporate building and noted that CMPD was on the scene investigating the mysterious floating orb.
CMPD has not yet released any public information regarding their investigation of the influx of sightings.
We will update this article if and when they release their findings.
