Staten Island lawmakers, baffled by the lack of information regarding large drones spotted in the tri-state area skies, are demanding action from the New York Police Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Staten Island President Vito Fossella claimed a drone flew over his house last night — but said he’s just as concerned about drones being spotted over critical city infrastructure like the Verrazano Bridge.

Officials want to know why federal officials have been unable to answer questions about the drones. If the troubling situation is not some major international conspiracy, they said, it’s certainly at least a safety risk.

“We believe there was a drone flying over the [Verrazano] bridge … and we’re supposed to let it go? They [the feds] have an obligation to let us know what is going on,” Fossella told reporters on Friday morning.
