That's the first thing I thought of when I heard about this. If the US was testing its drones, I think it would prefer to keep them in a restricted airspace. On the other hand, if I were a foreign power looking to flaunt my new drone tech, I'd take it over the area that seems to be rife with sensitive bases.
Still, it's most likely this is a US drone on a long range testing mission(or just flying off course due to a sw bug).
- ianai 6y agoAre there reports of any foreign drones flying so far within US borders? I only recall media accounts of stuff like that happening in international waters or borders.
- heavyset_go 6y agoSounds like a situation where if there were any witnesses to such incidents, they're probably under gag orders.
- koheripbal 6y agoFor hypersonic vehicles, restricted airspace is too small. They need to be able to fly into commercial airspace to demonstrate range, guidance systems, etc...
