DENVER - An Army drone that disappeared on a training flight in southern Arizona has been found hundreds of miles away in Colorado, and the military is trying to figure out how it got there.

Journalists are stupid. The "how" is that it flew there.

The military wants to know the "why", not the "how".

Are you sure about that? According to the article/s it doesn’t have the radio range or the flight range to fly 1,200 kilometers.

It posed a threat to other air traffic, especially if it is poorly spotted by collision avoidance systems. Could have climbed easily to 18,000 service ceiling.

C-130 midair collision on approach to landing FOB Sharana resulted in loss of two engines and wing damage in 2011. Not an RC model by this result.
