As the panic over night-time drone sightings escalates, officials are investigating an overwhelming volume of tips, but they find that less than 100 were credible enough to pursue.
Despite the surge in reported sightings, the Department of Homeland Security reassured the public that there is currently no evidence of a threat to safety related to these incidents.
The kind of objects reported as 'drones' could actually be conventional aircraft such as planes or helicopters, or merely a product of misperceptions in the sky.
With nearly 800,000 registered drones in the US, many sightings are likely from recreational users, yet the media frenzy continues to fuel conspiracy theories.
