What are they and who's flying ?
That's what one family in Washington County,
Maryland wants to know.
They say these mysterious drones
are flying over their homes almt
every night, all night long.
Yeah, so we had to send our
Casey Nolan to investigate
the mystery and the sky over
one Boones Bro neighborhood.
Living on a dead end road can he
its perks. I like my privacy.
Ending up on one in a search for answers?
We're kind of baffled. Can feela
little like going in circles. If
there is a legitimate need for e
government to be here doing thi,
they need to let the citizens k.
Yeah, over here. There's one up there,
flying in circles over
their home for the past
two months. There's one right there, or
what John and Amy Buckheimer
believe are unmanned drones.
Get it on camera.
It's another one flying over
from uncertain Origins.
Here's another one.
Flying directly over top of us.
When neighbors 1st called to say they'd
seen mysterious drones flying
over this rule Boonesboro,
Maryland neighborhood,
the Buckheimer say, they started
paying more attention to the sk.
And sure enough we saw a bunch of drones.
And they say the drones seemed o
pay more attention to them too.
And it's coming toward us.
And it stopped and it hovered and then it
came toward us and I just thought, why?
Like it knew you were like
it knew. We actually had one
peek in the window here
so you can hear it. The buckheir
say. The drones come out
around sundown on just about
every night with good weather.
Neighbors say they've seen them
still flying the next morning
it's flying solo. You can hear .
They've recorded what they can.
Yeah, right here and
tried to track down the
drones owner online. So we
watched where there we think
they're taking off from.
OK, and we're pretty sure
we know exactly where it is.
And we got the address,
a plot of land a mile from their house
that property records seem to te
back to the federal government owner,
United States of America.
When the Buckheimers called
the FAA to file a complaint,
the FAA told them it was a matter for the
local sheriff who sent them back to the FAA.
More circles.
No answers right there.
The night we watched from
the Buckheimer's back porch,
it was hard to say for sure what we saw.
A lot of low flying lights thate
either drones or perhaps small planes,
but there was no mistaking this.
A jumbo jet flying low over their backyard,
something the Buckheimer say they never see.
It came back at least once and
according to public flight data,
the jet circled this part of Washington
County until nearly 4:00 AM when
it headed back to where it tookf
Naval Air Station Patuxent Rive.
More than 100 miles away,
the Navy confirms it is flying low altitude
missions in the area that are q,
crucial to our national securit.
But that still doesn't explain the drones.
If they said, hey,
you know, we've
received threats, we're going to
be flying drones in the area.
You know, please excuse you know, but hey,
we know we have your safety in .
You're prepared to trust them if they
would just talk to you, Absolut.
If it's a legit reason they're looking
for something, there's a proble.
Tell us. Give us some informati.
Don't leave us hanging.
OK, so we talked to both the
FAA and a Navy spokesperson for
Naval Air Station Patuxent Rive.
There's some speculation online
that that large plane we saw
flying over the Buckheimer's hoe
has the ability to deploy drone.
The Navy will only say that they
a variety of aircraft out of Patuxent.
And that they have a noise
advisory for people in that part
of Washington County for missios
they'll be flying through June .
The FAA will only say that
they look into all reports of
unauthorized drone operations ad
investigate when necessary. The
mystery continues and does
the big plane just going
around in circles for hours.
When we saw that at first we
assumed it was a commercial jet.
We found out otherwise. Like
I said, there's no mistaking
that was something.
The rest of the what we saw fly.
They believe they are drones.
I believe they're credible.
It's just hard to tell for
sure where they come from.
Well, you're going to stay on
this beat. I'm on it. Right?
I'm on it. Keep looking up.
I'll groan on about it. Thank y.
