Abstract
A weak, decreasing trend was found in monthly UAS (also
known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicle or Drone) sightings near
airports (FAA, 2025), but it was not statistically significant.
There was a significant difference in UAS sightings by month of
the year between November 2019 and December 2024, with a
more sightings in summer months.
