Woman was ‘stalked by drone’ for eight miles in ‘unnerving ordeal’ – but police were ‘unable to help’
A WOMAN claimed to have been stalked by a drone for eight miles in an "unnerving ordeal" - but police were "unable to help."
Mary Dunham spotted a drone following her last week, as she drove to a gas station and then to her home in Gorham, Maine.
"I found out that I'm not alone that this has happened to other people in my town."
Deputy Chief Nault has reached out to the FAA to see if the drone's pilot can be identified.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration, drones need to be registered and cannot fly around airports where the agency controls airspace.
Basic recreational drone rules also state that drones must be clearly marked with an FAA registration number, they need to be flown under 400 feet in an "uncontrolled space," and they cannot be operated from a moving vehicle unless with special permission.
More than 1.5 million drones are registered nationwide, two-thirds of which are for recreational use, the FAA says.
