Just spoke with someone with the Air Force who says this is a training drone with the 53rd Wing. Usually they will find these drones in the water, this time it washed ashore. https://t.co/EXTceLE2j5

“As long as he is here, we will be here with him”, said Hutchins. “But as you can see, it's safe for people to be around. We assure everyone that it is safe. The sheriff's office and the Air Force have assured us that there is no danger to anyone approaching him."
Air Force First Lieutenant Savanah Bray said the UAV is used for training with the 53rd Wing Squadron, “drones are shot down and then retrieved from the water”. However, this one in particular made it to shore.
