The FAA says the latest incident occurred Wednesday as a JetBlue flight from Savannah, Georgia, reported spotting a drone when it was about two miles from the runway.
Authorities say on Sunday a Virgin Atlantic flight from London reported a drone sighting at about 3,000 feet near the jet. At about the same time, a Delta flight from San Diego reported a drone near one of its wing.
The FAA says in a statement that none of the pilots took evasive action. All three flights landed safely.
Nassau County police say they investigated, but did not locate any devices.
Time for OB-1-Kinobe and Annakin to place a tracker on the drone and get to the source.
