Dozens of unexplained drone sightings around Connecticut the past few days have led to a growing demand from local leaders for answers from the federal government.

State Sen. Tony Hwang called the lack of information and action from federal authorities “unacceptable,” during a news conference Monday. Hwang held it at the Fairfield train station, the place where a local woman captured video of what appears to be several mysterious drones in the sky last Thursday.

“I commute for work. I got off the 6:45 p.m. train that arrived in Fairfield. I had just been reading an article about these unidentified drones, not even thinking they'd be in Connecticut,” recalled Lucy Biggers. “But of course, I walk outside, and I decide to look up.” Biggers said she never expected what she saw—five drones hovering above. So, she immediately took out her phone to capture the scene.

“Everything about it was off,” Biggers told News 12. “So, now I’m filming, and I’m like freaking out. Three of them came into the frame in front of me. And then I ended up seeing two more that flew basically directly over my head. It’s very low flying, and if a plane was that low flying, it would be loud.”

Biggers shared the video on X, where it took off, catching the attention of Fairfield and beyond.

“Since then, our community has been abuzz with speculation and uncertainty without information,” Hwang stated at the start of his news conference.

Hwang said there’s a critical need for explanations from federal agencies, not just empty assurances.

“That seems to be where we are right now—the reassurance that it's safe, that it's benign but not real facts as to who and what these drones are,” Hwang said. “Without facts, we lead to speculation, and speculation leads to uncertainty and potentially fear.”

Hwang told reporters he will be sending a letter to the Department of Homeland Security.

“As a state senator, I’m representing my district and my constituency, asking the federal government to give us the necessary information so the state agencies can guide and assist and most importantly our local law enforcement can do their job,” Hwang stated. “Let's demand accountability. Let's demand transparency.”

Hwang also thanked U.S. Rep. Jim Himes U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal for their efforts to get answers. Both have been public about their concerns.

“The Homeland Security Department needs to deploy the drone specific radar that is designed to detect these kinds of unmanned aerial vehicles—whether they're drones or something else, we need to know more, and the government needs to tell us more. Transparency, information are the way to ease the alarm that people understandably feel with all of these sightings,” Blumenthal told News 12 on Monday. “I am deeply frustrated—in fact, angry—that the federal government has failed to do more.”

Gov. Ned Lamont said the state’s emergency services commissioner is in contact with the Federal Aviation Administration, as well as states like New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts, where mysterious drones have also been reported.

"I think the vast majority of these drones are, you know, explainable. I think there's more conspiracy theories than there are drones in the sky. But I've got to get to the bottom of this. I've got to make sure we don't have any security at risk," Lamont said Monday.

Biggers, meanwhile, has tried to find answers herself. She said she checked a flight radar site but couldn't find any planes' paths that matched what she saw.

“I don't know what's going on. I can't speculate on what it is, but all I know is it was a really weird experience,” Biggers told News 12. “And since then, I’ve seen so many videos online of the same things that I saw, so I feel confident that I’m not the only one.”

Officials and local police departments are asking people not to take matters into their own hands if they see a suspicious drone and instead report it through the Connecticut Suspicious Activity Reporting Portal.
