It is quite possible that we send drones out on missions for much the same reason. We may have much more advanced technical means to gather data. The drones would thus allow other nations to believe we were getting the information from the drone fly overs. The drones may just be a cover story to deflect speculation about something much more amazing. And a captured drone could be a great way to mislead an adversary as to our technical level. We could get them to believe all sorts of nonsense based on what they discovered in the drone.
Nice theory, may have something to it.

We still have the ‘mystery’ thing flying around up there.
