Federal agencies are facing intense pressure Friday to give the public more details on unexplained drone sightings in the New York City metropolitan area that have been going on for weeks over residential neighborhoods as well as restricted sites and critical infrastructure.

The governor made the announcement on Friday as sightings spread across New York and New Jersey. State and federal authorities said the flying objects posed no threat to the public.

Reports of flying objects continue to occur throughout the region. State and local officials say they do not pose a threat but have provided few answers.
