The department said Friday that it shared the information with the FBI's Boston Field Office and the Massachusetts State Police, adding that it would continue to work with the agencies.
Bipartisan lawmakers in the U.S. House and Senate have demanded answers from federal law enforcement officials after weeks of sightings in multiple states, with many in New Jersey. Connecticut State Police also said they are investigating "suspicious drone activity."
The FBI has said that it has seen "no evidence" that the sightings "pose a national security or public safety threat."
