<p>Federal law enforcement officials warned the public on Monday to not shine high-powered lasers at flying objects at night as the public increasingly looks for drone activity following recent media reporting.</p>
<p>FBI Newark and New Jersey State Police said that there has been &#8220;an increase in pilots of manned aircraft being hit in the eyes with lasers because people on the ground think they see an Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).&#8221;</p>
<p>Authorities also said that there has been increased concerns about people firing weapons at what they believe are UAS but, in reality, are manned aircraft.</p>
<p>&#8220;There could be dangerous and possibly deadly consequences if manned aircraft are targeted mistakenly as UAS,&#8221; the statement said.</p>
<p>&#8220;To improve accuracy and prevent false sightings, a variety of tools and techniques can be used to assist with the visual identification of suspected UAS,&#8221; the statement said. &#8220;Accurate identification is critical for maintaining safety and ensuring appropriate responses to UAS activity.&#8221;</p>

<p>The statement said federal, state, and local law enforcement officials were monitoring drone activity every night in the area in response to the drone sightings and that they would &#8220;track down operators acting illegally or with nefarious intent and using every available tool and piece of equipment to find the answers the public is seeking.&#8221;</p>
<p>Authorities encouraged the public to also use publicly available websites and apps that show live flight patterns, satellite movement, and more to hopefully avoid misidentifying objects.</p>
