Heard 2nd hand from a retired state cop now working security for the FBI. He was called to Atlanta for the Superbowl and was assigned to provide security for some USAF types and their gear. Says he was taken into a trailer and shown what was going on.
There was a "No Fly" zone established. When private drones were detected violating it, USAF would somehow use a laser aimed at the offender to take control of the drone and bring it into their custody.
Seems that they caught 46 of them and these are the big ones with big cameras and supposedly some kind of traceable registrations (FCC, FAA or whatever)and that some belong to media entities. He says that the Air Force is supposed to be pressing charges.
This could get interesting
If someone will explain to me what happened on Operation Highjump in 46 and 47 I would love to hear the answer
