Drone video showing a large great white shark near some of Maine's most popular beaches has prompted police in one coastal town to issue a warning on Tuesday. The warning was issued just weeks after there were multiple great white sightings in an area of Maine where a woman was fatally attacked by a shark five years ago.

A breathtaking drone video has captured a great white shark gliding just off the Northeast coast, sparking new safety warnings for beachgoers as sightings continue along the state’s southern shoreline.

Drone footage of the shark was obtained, leading authorities to share the news for "public situational awareness"
