“The thing will take a beating!,” the soldier wrote. Good thing, too, because the Puma sounds like a serious piece of machinery that probably doesn’t need any clueless amateur operators. With the new information, Seventy_Seven said that it seemed like a few parts were missing, so he probably wasn’t going to be flying or cutting off fingers anytime soon. Even though the blades are made from plastic, they will easily sever a finger!” “The remote is a little like a Wii U remote, only it’s probably more expensive :-) The UAV can be hand launched, but the propeller needs to be running at max rpm and there is a serious risk of damage to the operator. “It has a range of up to 22 kilometres, has a gyro stabilized, HD, thermal camera,” the redditor wrote. Not sure if that will protect me from the government though.”Īnother redditor, who said he served in Afghanistan, pointed out that the drone is a Puma AE unmanned aerial vehicle, or UAV, which are used by NOAA to “spy on nature.” (Their words, not ours.) In all fairness, the UPS guy that delivered it said it was part 2 of my package, so I genuinely thought at first, that it was part of the weight lifting bench set I ordered. “That note designating that it’s government property was inside the case. “It’s odd, all the labels were to me, and my address,” he wrote. When Seventy_Seven called the UPS to report the problem, says the redditor, an employee of the company insisted it was his drone “and said that it was up to me if I want to keep it or not.”Īccording to Seventy_Seven, the box the drone came in had his address listed on it. Seventy_Seven, who says he doesn’t want to give out his exact address, says he lives in the northern United States-so close, yet so far. The card also included a telephone number and address. Inside the box, he found a card indicating that the drone belonged to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) hanger in Tampa, Florida. When Reddit user Seventy_Seven opened his front door Monday morning, he found that UPS had mistakenly delivered a $350,000 drone owned by the federal government to his doorstep. Suddenly, all those broken Amazon deliveries don’t seem quite as bad.
