Radiation levels in New York City have sharply increased following the recent appearance of drones flying over the East Coast. The discovery has triggered alarm, as experts scramble to understand the potential risks tied to these mysterious airborne devices.
Measurements from Geiger Counter World Map show radiation levels in the Bronx and Upper West Side reaching 1,048 counts-per-minute (CPM), a drastic rise from the average background levels of 5 to 60 CPM. This increase is concerning, as the safety threshold for radiation exposure is set at 200 CPM.
Gordon Chang, a noted author and expert on U.S.-China relations, pointed to the possibility that the drones may be involved in searching for nuclear materials. He observed that the radiation spikes occurred on both sides of the Hudson River, which could suggest that something dangerous might be hidden in the area.

Chang drew parallels between the current situation and last year’s Chinese spy balloon incident. He criticized the federal government’s handling of these events, claiming that both the military and the administration had failed to protect the country from foreign threats.

Chang also called for greater transparency from President Joe Biden’s administration, urging the president to address the nation and clarify the government’s response to the drone sightings. He argued that Americans have a right to know whether the government is adequately prepared to deal with a potential security threat.

In addition to the rising radiation levels, authorities in New Jersey are investigating reports of missing radioactive materials. While officials have downplayed the situation as non-urgent, the coincidence of these events has raised further concerns among locals and experts alike.
