Concern rises as drone sightings are reported in Massachusetts and New Hampshire

Authorities in New England say they are aware of sightings of drones bring reported from Cape Cod to the Granite State.

State authorities say they are aware and monitoring the situation, but that is not exactly comforting to people who have seen these drones hovering over their homes.

“It’s very concerning and unnerving and unsettling.” said Harwich resident Lindsay Muto.

Muto says she saw a dozen drones the size of an SUV hovering around her house.

Lawmakers are questioning the FBI over weeks of New Jersey drone sightings.

She is one of many people across Massachusetts and New Hampshire who caught the unconfirmed sighting on video, similar to the drones we have seen flying around New Jersey in recent weeks.

“To my knowledge I think we were one of the first departments to bring it to anybody’s attention.” said Harwich Police Chief Kevin Considine.

Considine sent out a release to let people know they are aware of the situation and an off-duty officer saw two similar drones near the station the same night.

“We don’t know what these are, we don’t know if they’re associated we just know they’re similar to reports in other parts of the country.” the chief added.

Meanwhile, more than 150 miles away in Barrington, New Hampshire, another family caught a similar sight on camera.

“We never thought we would see it on our backyard” said Norma Boyd of Barrington.

Now everyone is asking for answers.

“I think we def need some answers, we have kids at home these things are flying over our house.” said Muto.

Massachusetts and New Hampshire State Police say they are aware of these reports and the FAA is monitoring the situation, while the FBI declined to comment.

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey also said Saturday that she is monitoring the situation closely.

Mass. man struck by car, seriously injured on I-93 in Londonderry, NH

A Massachusetts man was flown to the hospital after he was struck by a car when he stepped out of his vehicle in the breakdown lane of Interstate 93 in Londonderry, New Hampshire, on Saturday morning.

State police say 40-year-old Felix Matos Medina, of Lawrence, had stopped on the right side of I-93 south at Exit 5 just before 11 a.m. to investigate a possible mechanical issue. He was struck shortly after he stepped out of his vehicle by a Chevrolet Malibu and sustained serious injuries.

Medina was taken by medical helicopter to Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington, Mass., police said. There was no immediate update on his condition.

I-93 southbound was closed near Exit 5 for about 30 minutes to facilitate the medical helicopter’s landing. One lane remained closed for several hours to accommodate crash reconstruction and on-scene investigation.

The driver who struck Medina, identified as David Jodoin, stopped at the scene and is cooperating with investigators, according to police. No charges have been filed at this time, but all aspects of the crash remain under investigation at this time.

Anyone with information that may assist the investigation is asked to contact Trooper Evan Puopolo at 603-451-9784.

State police are also reminding all New Hampshire drivers that Sherrill’s Law requires motorists approaching a stopped vehicle displaying warning signals to slow down and give plenty of space. Drivers are also required to move out of partially or wholly blocked lanes when it’s safe to do so.
