A drone crashed into the backyard of a New Jersey home Thursday night as mysterious sightings of unmanned aircraft continue to perplex authorities.
The drone fell into a residential area of Pequannock Township, the Pequannock Police Department said.
Officials determined the aircraft to be a “hobby or toy type drone,” not a large commercial or military-grade drone, police said.
The mayor of Pequannock, Ryan Herd, went to the scene to survey the crash scene for himself, the New York Post reported.
He told the newspaper that was concerned that “nobody knows whose drones are flying over us and what they’re flying over us for and where they’re taking off and landing.”
“Drones are flying over our houses, which is our private property. My family is here,” he added.

No drones were found amid reports that one crashed into power lines in New Jersey before crashing in a field, police said.
The Hillsborough Police Department responded Thursday night to reports that a drone crashed into a field. A caller said they saw drones in the sky, with one striking high-tension power lines before crash-landing.
Multiple agencies searched the area from the air and on foot and didn't find any drones, police said.
On Friday morning, authorities used drones to get an aerial view of the area but nothing was found.
