Puzzling Events Surround London-Gatwick Drone Investigation
The investigation at Gatwick has been nothing short of baffling so far:
Police say they have 67 eye witnesses statements to the events, however no video exists; this with Gatwick being a heavily surveilled area and smartphones nearly as ubiquitous as air.
Police arrested and held a British couple for 36 hours even as the husband’s employer made repeated attempts to tell the authorities that the man was with him during the time of the incident. The couple was released without any charges.
An “unidentified military technology” was deployed to the airport to regain control of the area. A BBC report says it was possibly the Israeli developed “Drone Dome,” which can be used to jam communication systems between a drone and its operator. However, the system doesn’t allow for tracking of said drone or operator.
A damaged drone was recovered near the airport and is being examined for forensic evidence.
Sussex police made a statement saying that it’s possible an airborne drone was never in the area during the event and that the multiple eye witnesses could be mistaken.
