Radioactive material went missing in New Jersey earlier this month, fueling conspiracy theories that it could be linked to the mysterious drone sightings.
A piece of medical equipment used for cancer scans was shipped from the Nazha Cancer Center in Newfield on December 2 for disposal, but the 'shipping container arrived at its destination damaged and empty.'
The device, known as a 'pin source,' contained a small amount of Germanium-68 (Ge-68) that is used to calibrate a medical scanner's accuracy. If handled without proper gear, it can cause radiation poisoning.
The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued an alert for the missing shipment deemed 'less than a Category 3,' meaning it could cause permanent injury if mishandled.
The danger with losing track of radioactive material is that they can be used to build bombs.
But experts have suggested that malicious actors would likely use more potent materials than what was lost in New Jersey.
The missing medical equipment has led many on social media to speculate that the drones flying over New Jersey may be the government trying to 'sniff out' radioactive material.
John Ferguson, the CEO of Saxon Aerospace, a drone manufacturer in Kansas, said that the only reason drones are flown at night is because they are 'looking for something.'
