Rising radiation levels in New York City have sparked growing concern after a series of unexplained drone sightings over the East Coast. Authorities are warning the public to remain cautious, as the situation has raised questions about national security and the possibility of a looming threat.
The latest radiation readings, which were recorded using Geiger Counter World Map, show a startling increase in radiation levels in areas such as the Bronx and Upper West Side. In some locations, radiation levels reached 1,048 counts-per-minute (CPM), significantly above the 200 CPM safety threshold. Typically, people are exposed to background radiation in the range of 5 to 60 CPM, making the recent readings highly unusual.
Gordon Chang, a noted expert on U.S.-China relations, has linked the drone sightings to the rising radiation levels, suggesting that the drones may be connected to an effort to locate a nuclear device. “These drones could be looking for something dangerous,” Chang speculated, citing the concentration of radiation across both sides of the Hudson River. His comments drew parallels to the Chinese spy balloon incident of 2023, where national security concerns were raised over similar aerial activity.

Chang also criticized the Biden administration for its failure to adequately address the situation. He urged President Joe Biden to provide clarity on what the government knows and to be more transparent with the American people. “The president must address the nation and explain what the government is doing about this,” he said.

In New Jersey, there have been reports of missing radioactive materials, further complicating the security situation. Mayor Michael Melham expressed concern over a damaged shipment of medical devices, though local authorities have downplayed the significance of the incident, calling it a “non-emergency.”

With radiation levels continuing to rise, experts are advising the public to take necessary precautions. It is recommended that Americans prepare by ensuring they have access to essential supplies, including food, water, and iodine pills. As the situation unfolds, the increasing radiation levels and unexplained drone activity are prompting renewed concerns about national security.
