Fighter jets were scrambled to President Donald Trump's New Jersey golf course on Sunday when a rogue aircraft breached the temporary flight restriction zone.
The unidentified pilot flew into the airspace above the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster at around 2.50pm and was quickly escorted out of the area by North American Aerospace Defense Command jets, the agency announced.
It had to use flares to draw the pilot's attention, but NORAD assured the public the flares 'are employed with the highest regard for the safety of the intercepted aircraft and people on the ground.'
The flares also burn out quickly and completely, so there is no danger to those on the ground.
The Sunday afternoon incursion marked the second of the day, after three other unauthorized incursions occurred the day before.
