NEW YORK (WABC) --
The FBI and FAA are investigating incidents involving three passenger planes that reported sightings of drones in and around the Kennedy Airport approach airspace this week.
The incidents occurred Sunday and Wednesday.
Officials say a Virgin Atlantic flight was landing at the airport on Sunday night when the crew spotted red and white flashing lights at 3,000 feet.
They said it was a slow quad copter drone.
A minute later, a Delta flight noticed the same thing, and said the craft was within feet of its wing.
Wednesday, a Jet Blue flight reported a drone at 400 feet over Nassau County.
No pilots took evasive action.
All three flights landed safely.
