A bald eagle, seemingly proving its dominance of the skies, took out a state-operated mapping drone over the Upper Peninsula in Michigan, USA, sending it to the bottom of the state’s famous lake. He then pressed the “Go Home” button, causing the drone to turn around and head to him as it had reportedly reacquired a better signal. A couple who witnessed the attack confirmed to King that the said eagle indeed attacked the said drone. They then helped the drone’s pilot search the shoreline of the lake, although they could not find the drone. After another attempt to find the drone, however, EGLE Unmanned Aircraft Systems coordinator Arthur Ostaszewski, who kayaked and snorkeled through the lake, was still unable to find the drone.
