New Telemetry Suggests Shot-Down Drone Was Higher Than Alleged

Posted by samzenpus on from the lucky-shot dept.

AmiMoJo writes: The pilot of the drone shot down Sunday evening over a Kentucky property has now come forward with video seemingly showing that the drone wasn't nearly as close as the property owner made it out to be. The data also shows that it was well over 200 feet above the ground before the fatal shots fired. The shooter, meanwhile, continues to maintain that the drone flew 20 feet over a neighbour's house before ascending to "60 to 80 [feet] above me."

    You would have trouble seeing such a drone at 'well over 200 feet above ground' let alone shooting it down with a shotgun.
