Thursday, October 1, 2015 4:49:15 PM Thanks dana; appreciate the follow-up. For the record we dont regulate UFOs so I assume no need for additional action.

RE: Pilgrim Drone Spotting

The security manager got back to me. Plymouth PD arrived on site and it turned out that the object was actually much higher (thousands of feet) and indiscernible at that distance.

FAA was contacted to no avail. MA State Police sent a helicopter, but even they couldnt identify the object. They think it might have been a weather balloon of some sort, but no one was definite. They are calling it a UFO.

Nonetheless, it doesnt appear to have caused any kind of threat to the site (distance) nor was it indicative of any kind of surveillance or suspicious activity that would meet criteria for a SIDS report so one was not made.

That should close this episode out.

RE: Pilgrim Drone Spotting

Brett - last I heard the licensee wasnt sure if the flyover was a bird, plane, drone or superman. Tony et el did we ever hear back from Pilgrim regarding the potential drone sighting?

Thanks

Ray,

What happened with that? Did they eventually make a report?

Thanks.
