Hochul wrote on X on Sunday.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">She said state governments needed more power to deal on their own with the small, uncrewed aircraft that have also been reported in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut and Massachusetts.<!-- --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-component=\"text-block\" class=\"sc-18fde0d6-0 dlWCEZ\">\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">And further west, in Ohio, drone sightings also led to the closure of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base for about an hour on Friday night, according to local media.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">&#8220;Congress must pass a law that will give us the power to deal directly with the drones,&#8221; Hochul said in her post, after last week promising to &#8220;do whatever it takes to ensure New Yorkers remain safe&#8221;.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Senator Chuck Schumer said on Sunday he hoped to pass a bill that would give local enforcement more power to investigate unidentified flying objects, saying: &#8220;I&#8217;m pushing for answers amid these drone sightings&#8221;.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">He also asked that a drone detection system similar to the one headed for New York also be sent to New Jersey, where most of the aerial encounters have so far been recorded.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">New Jersey Senator Andy Kim said he went out with local residents over the weekend to observe the night sky, and that he believed &#8211;
