Through a public relations company, Lockheed Martin issued the following statement:

“The U.S. Army and Lockheed Martin had a successful launch of the HALE-D aircraft from Akron, Ohio at 5:47 a.m. The aircraft ascended as planned up to 32,000 feet along the prepared flight profile. However, an anomaly prevented our ability to ascend to the target 60,000 feet. A decision was made to end the flight and make a controlled descent into a non-populated area in southwestern Pennsylvania at 8:26 a.m.”
