A COOBER Pedy man flying a drone near the Woomera Prohibited Area says it was inexplicably “forced to the ground”, shortly before a huge explosion and mushroom cloud in the distance.
For decades there has been weapons testing at the site, much of it top secret. The Advertiser has confirmed that there is an exclusion zone currently in place to test military equipment.
Jason Wright, 46, was at Lake Hart with his partner Ariane Montminy-Roberge, 33, when the incident occurred on Saturday.
“We were just on our way to Adelaide and we stopped by Lake Hart to use our drone to get some footage,” he said. “It was weird, the drone seems like it was forced down about a minute before the explosion. I had no control over it.”
Well I guess we now know where one of the sales ended up......looks like it worked ......sweet.
