One Drone Missing; Reward Offered. Please Contact FBI

Tyler Durden's picture




Yesterday we noted the somewhat startling confession of @NYCAviation investigating a four-engined small aircraft (or drone) at JFK. Today we get the confirmation as the FBI "seeks public assistance in identifying, locating, unmanned aircraft and operator."

 

Perhaps this?

 

Via FBI,

On Monday, March, 4, 2013, at approximately 1:15 p.m., the pilot of Alitalia Flight #608 spotted a small, unmanned aircraft while on approach to John F. Kennedy International Airport. The Alitalia flight was roughly three miles from runway 31R when the incident occurred at an altitude of approximately 1,750 feet. The unmanned aircraft came within 200 feet of the Alitalia plane.

 

The FBI is investigating the incident and looking to identify and locate the aircraft and its operator. The unnamed aircraft was described as black in color and no more than three feet wide with four propellers.

 

“The FBI is asking anyone with information about the unmanned aircraft or the operator to contact us,” said Special Agent in Charge John Giacalone. “Our paramount concern is the safety of aircraft passengers and crew.”

Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 212-384-1000. Tipsters may remain anonymous.

I bet they could track it down, if only they had a slightly larger budget.

Sounds like HMS needs a new division to cover this, as the TSA gate-rapers are all too busy.

Might try calling Fort Meade or Langley.  My guess is they would tell the FBI to fuck off.

After all, what's more important, drone practice or airline passenger safety?

Ive gotta say, these drones are just freakin' amazing. I was flying one of these babys at the beach the other day and some of the shots I got of the sunbathers are just sweet. You can literally see everything and everyone. It's like a birds eye view. Everything's more out in the open with these things flying around. I think it's  better that way.

Easier for the military to deny there's a drone, than to deny that twa 800 got in the way of their missile.

Boston University police arrested a 37-year-old man on the third floor of Mugar Memorial Library Monday night after he was seen taking pictures of female students. Scott Paré, deputy director of public safety and BU Police Department deputy chief, says Michael Lydon, 37, of Brighton, was taken into custody after police received a call from two students. Lydon was charged with secret photo, video, or electronic surveillance, a misdemeanor punishable by up to two and a half years in jail and a fine of $5,000. http://www.bu.edu/today/2012/brighton-man-arrested-for-photographing-wom...

Expect to see upcoming defence industry ads in military related magazines hawking new "Counterdrone" technology capable of delivering real-time, uploadable, programmable, expandable, lightweight, fuel efficient, ECM/EMP hardened, day-night, all weather, infared sensing "solutions" for America's warfighters, law enforcement agencies, as well as corporate clients.

Am I the only one that thought, after reading the headline, that the drone belonged to the FBI?

I feel duped.

However, it is funny that the FBI is trying to lay cover for the CIA.

As if his jew-hating comments in other threads today didn't already give that away.  For example, his claim that Dick Fuld's firm was allowed to fail because Fuld wasn't a jew (although we're talking about Lehman Brothers!)

Until I see commentary about Krugman & Bernanke-programmed drones loaded with cases of money for stimulating the economy by the masses I am disappointed with this poor effort. Disappointed indeed.

Weak sauce

Nothing even about checking for errant libertarians from aerial surveillance to ensure they're not spreading their rampant viral free-market terrorism. Nada.

Weak

This is just the reason we need to enact the "Comprehensive Assault Drone Ban of 2013".

Remember kids, only criminals need cameras, or written records.  If you're not doing anything wrong, you don't need to protect yourself.
