New York Governor requests federal aid after drones forced Stewart Airport closure.

New York Stewart International Airport temporarily shut down its runways for an hour on Friday night due to unidentified drone activity. Governor Kathy Hochul has called for federal assistance and urged Congress to pass legislation to strengthen drone oversight. The White House stated there's no evidence of a national security threat, though many reports may be misidentified manned aircraft. The incident follows a series of similar drone sightings in the Northeast.
