Florida Charter Boat Snags U.S. Military Drone During Routine Tests

A Gulf of Mexico charter fishing trip yielded an unusual catch when a boat hauled in a U.S. military drone, later identified as an Eglin Air Force Base LUCAS drone that reportedly collided with the water during routine testing. The drone was recovered and handed to the Defense Department, with Eglin confirming the incident as part of ongoing munitions tests and CENTCOM noting a new one-way drone task force operating in the region.
