Unexplained drone sightings across the East Coast have been followed by a significant increase in radiation levels in New York City, sparking public concern and government warnings. Authorities are advising the public to stay alert and prepare for possible security threats.
According to the Geiger Counter World Map, radiation levels in areas such as the Bronx and Upper West Side have reached 1,048 counts-per-minute (CPM), far surpassing the 200 CPM safety threshold. Radiation exposure for an average person typically measures between 5 and 60 CPM, making the recent readings highly unusual.
Gordon Chang, an expert on U.S.-China relations, has linked the rising radiation levels to the recent drone activity, suggesting the drones might be searching for a nuclear device or other dangerous material. “These drones could be involved in locating something hazardous,” Chang said, pointing out the concentration of radiation along both sides of the Hudson River.

Chang also called for greater transparency from the Biden administration, urging President Joe Biden to address the public directly and clarify the government’s response to the situation. “It’s important for the president to explain what the federal government knows and what actions are being taken,” Chang emphasized.

In addition to the rising radiation levels, there have been reports of missing radioactive materials in New Jersey. Mayor Michael Melham expressed concern over a damaged shipment of medical devices, though local authorities have downplayed the situation, calling it a “non-emergency.”
