We went from:
El Paso TX airspace closed for 10 days (including banning Medevac flights) to there was a Mexican cartel drone in the airspace to oops, we shot down a party balloon – or possibly 4 mylar party balloons.
And it was apparently DHS that did the shooting.
Latest update: They used their laser to shoot down 4 mylar party balloons.
Airspace closure followed spat over drone-related tests and party balloon shoot-down, sources say – CBS News – it never had anything to do with cartel drones. The government lied to save face. The military was testing a drone shoot down laser.
