Monsey - At about 8:30AM several Ramapo Police Officers
observed amid-size twin engine jet with its landing gear down flying extremely
low along the NYS Thruway from about Airmont Road to the Garden State
Extension.
The jet was seen by at least one officer flying very close to the
Ramapo Police Headquarters.
The jet was described as a corporate type jet and was white
in color. Officers estimate that the jet was between 200 and 500 feet off the
ground at any given time.
In addition Ramapo Police received phone calls from
residents who had observed the jet as well. To some RPD officers it appeared
that the jet was going to crash or attempt to land on the NYS TWAY.
Ramapo PD immediately contacted the FAA and the FAA advised
that they were unaware of any jets with problems and were unable to identify
the jet at that time. RPD has formally requested that the FAA investigate this
matter.
In addition to requesting the FAA investigate this matter
RPD notified Rockland County INTELL and the NYS Office of Homeland Security
regarding this incident.
Ramapo PD is requesting that if any residents/businesses
have video or photographs of the jet to please share it that immediately.
