Description

Drones have repeatedly swarmed sensitive military sites. Current and former Air Force generals, along with a senior member of Congress, say the incursions pose a security threat. "60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

I’ve seen police chase a car across LA over fireworks, endangering countless lives, but when it comes to spy drones it’s Safety First?

One time a friend of mine flew a drone over a large convention without a permit, and the FBI found PRECISELY where he himself was flying it from in ten minutes.

Why would we ever assume drones over a military would be non-military? Even the suggestion that a personal civilian craft could be flying around in that restricted airspace at night without any repercussions is absurd.

This is a dry run, but they probably know who is doing it but don't want them to know what they know.
