#2 Or maybe they're controlled by a phone network? Seems easy enough to find and shut down.

#4 Also, further reports say that these are not hobbyist sized UAVs but rather Industrial Sized UAVs - this means $20,000 - $50,000 sized object and there have been up to 50 of them at Gatwick. So $2,000,000 -1mil up to +3 mil - invested in this operation. That sounds like a state or sheik funded GoFundMe

#5 The gov should have been able to ID the design or manufacturer and completed a money trail analysis in this timeframe. /FAILURE
