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."

    The telemetry shows that if the drone owner was trying to peep on the shooter's lovely teenage daughter, he was doing it all wrong.

    In the end, this is just another case of fearful kooks looking for an excuse to shoot something.
