HARWICH - Several people on Cape Cod reported drone activity to police on Thursday night. Multiple sightings were reported in the sky over Harwich and Barnstable. A Harwich resident told police she saw 10-15 drones over her house at about 9 p.

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.

Even those who wish to focus solely on a possible conflict with China should recognize that Beijing has allies who almost certainly would come to its aid. Victims of major public corruption cases in Pennsylvania and Illinois are angry that President Joe Biden granted clemency this week to the two convicted officials.

Officials sound alarm over reports of the strange sights—seen over New Jersey, New York, Maryland and Pennsylvania—with one asking for a “limited state of emergency.”

A local Pennsylvania State Police official says drones sighted over Pennsylvania pose no immediate threat to the public. In a since-deleted Facebook post made Thursday night, the Monroe County Office of Emergency Management said it is aware of social media posts about drone sightings within the county and asked that any sighting be reported to Monroe County 911.

After being reported in New Jersey, drone sightings were reported Thursday night in Orange and Rockland, but officials say they pose no threat to public safety.
