UAP/Drone Relevance

On June 26, 2026, a United Boeing 737 (Flight 1513, 106 passengers/5 crew, Key West–Newark) reported nearly colliding with a circular ~3-ft-wide drone about 100 ft below the aircraft while landing at newark-liberty-international-airport; the aircraft landed safely. A separate United Express flight operated by GoJet Airlines reported a drone at ~2,000 ft near Newark around the same time. The FAA’s subsequent coordinated review with the FBI, NJ State Police, and Port Authority Police found “no evidence of an unauthorized drone” at the reported time/location.
