Radiation levels in New York City have surged in recent days, prompting experts to question the connection between this alarming rise and a series of drone sightings in the area. Local authorities have issued warnings, urging residents to stay aware of the potential dangers.
According to data from the Geiger Counter World Map, radiation levels in the Bronx and Upper West Side have spiked to 1,048 counts-per-minute (CPM), far above the normal 5 to 60 CPM range. The safety threshold is set at 200 CPM, and the current readings have sparked concerns over public health and safety.
Gordon Chang, a recognized expert on U.S.-China relations, suggested that the drones might be linked to the radiation spikes. He proposed that the drones could be looking for nuclear materials or other dangerous substances, with the concentration of radiation near the Hudson River indicating a possible targeted search.

Chang also criticized the lack of action from the Biden administration, drawing a comparison to the 2023 Chinese spy balloon incident. He argued that the government has been slow to respond to these security concerns and that President Joe Biden should address the American people to explain what is being done to protect the nation.

In addition to the rising radiation levels, New Jersey officials are investigating reports of missing radioactive materials. Although local authorities have downplayed the significance of the incident, the timing of these events in relation to the drones has raised suspicions.
