The Federal Aviation Administration has imposed a temporary ban on drones flying over 22 areas in New Jersey, citing "special security reasons."

One of those regions includes parts of Metuchen Borough, where Mayor Jonathan Busch says he was given no advanced warning of the restrictions.

Busch says that until now he’s had little to say on the drone mystery, but that all changed when parts of his town, and 21 others, were placed under FAA temporary flight restrictions at the urging of PSE&G.

“We must be careful and delicately balance the importance of ‘you know you’re safe,’ with feeding misinformation. Trying to strike that balance, it’s hard. It’s hard for all of us to do that,” said Busch.

In a statement from PSE&G, a spokesperson says in part, “This is part of our ongoing process working with the appropriate authorities. The safety and security of our employees, customers and communities are our top priority and we will continue to work with authorities.”

The FAA confirmed with News 12 that the restrictions are now over “critical New Jersey infrastructure” like the PSE&G center in Middlesex County.

“This is one of those things where we are stuck in between not enough information and whether or not the information is even held,” said Busch.

Sightings of drones led to prior restrictions already in place over President-elect Donald Trump’s Bedminster compound and the Picatinny Arsenal. They are set to end on Dec. 20 and Dec. 26 respectively.

On Saturday, elected leaders from Congress to local mayors met in Seaside Heights and called for more power on the local levels to monitor the skies. A drone ban at night was discussed until definitive answers were learned.

“As a mayor, I think it’s really important to have whatever information you have for residents.,” said Busch.

News 12 New Jersey reached out to both the FAA and PSE&G for more information on what led to the requests for these temporary flight restrictions. In both cases, the agencies denied those requests. Meanwhile, the temporary restrictions will remain in place at least through Jan.17.

New York Gov. Kathy Hocul says that the FAA plans to grant similar restrictions in her state as well.
