SUMMARY: Drones have been frequently spotted over various U.S. states for over a month, particularly above military sites in New Jersey, raising concerns despite the FBI’s assertion that most sightings are misidentified manned aircraft. Investigations are ongoing for over 100 credible sightings. Although the White House claims these drones don’t pose a national security threat, lawmakers and residents express skepticism and seek more transparency. The FAA has established flight restrictions in response, and New Jersey has deployed detection devices, which found little evidence of malicious intent. Federal officials insist there’s no indication of foreign control or bad intent behind the drone activity.

Students attending low-performing schools, as defined by the College and Career Ready Performance Index, are eligible.

SUMMARY: A technical glitch at American Airlines caused a nationwide ground stop on Christmas Eve, impacting many travelers as they headed to visit loved ones. The issue, which lasted about an hour, affected flights at Hartsfield Jackson International Airport and across the country, coinciding with record-breaking holiday travel, with TSA expecting to screen 40 million passengers. Although the glitch was resolved quickly, some delays persisted, with approximately half of flights into and out of Atlanta experiencing holdups. Thankfully, there were no major long-term consequences, and most travel remained relatively smooth despite a few cancellations.

A temporary shutdown by American Airlines led to some delayed flights this morning at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
