Fox News reports a claim that Drone at Newark Airport Came Within 30 Feet of Aircraft:
Arriving flights were halted at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey on Tuesday when a drone was spotted near a neighboring airport, officials said. And one pilot claims that the drone came as close as 30 feet to his aircraft, according to a new report.
Two airplanes headed to Newark reported seeing a drone around 5 p.m. over Teterboro Airport, a smaller airport located roughly 18 miles northeast of Newark.
The FoxNews report quotes this story at ABC news:
Officials have now resumed operations after a ground stop had been ordered at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey due to drone activity, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
Officials received two reports of a drone seen about 3,500 feet above Teterboro Airport in Bergen County, New Jersey, FAA spokesman Greg Martin told ABC News.
[...] "Missed the drone by about 30 feet off our right wing," one pilot said.

Any proof of this? Britain had two shutdowns of major airports over Christmas and all we saw was a single shaky phone video at night of lights in the sky. At least that's all the public knows. I wonder what the space lizards were doing with the airports being shutdown.
