Heaven help us if an anonymous caller can shut down a major airport by threating to fly drones in the area!

Det Ch Supt Jason Tingley said no footage of a drone had been obtained. (Really?)
"Det Ch Supt Tingley said it was "a working assumption" the device could be connected to their investigation, but officers were keeping "an open mind". "(What the hell does he mean by device?)
a thing made or adapted for a particular purpose, especially a piece of mechanical or electronic equipment.
Authorities finally regained control over the airfield early on Friday after the Army deployed unidentified military technology. (How could they regain control if there was never a sighting of a "device" in the first place?) Is this the first time we have learned of actual military tech that can deter possible UFO's or am I just jumping to a conclusion here...you know wildy speculating?)

Yes they showed anti-UAV equipment and now that there is no footage of it being used to apprehend a drone it seems to be a little suspicious. The footage you link to of the alleged drone is totally unidentifiable as a drone therefore this is an actual UFO; an unidentified flying object. The police chief tingely himself is quoted as saying today on the BBC live that there is no footage of the "device" so this is strange to me beyond understanding. Also after they had claimed to have regained control on Thursday evening there was another sighting of the drone that shut down the airport for an additional 70 mins. So they didn't regain control of anything. How can they control a non-drone sighting? There is a claim by the police that they found a broken drone outside the airport somewhere however no photo has been shown and they are now saying that all the usable forensic evidence may have washed off in the rain. Did no one see the drone crash? Was the military drone dome responsible for the downing of the alleged drone? Why have they not claimed that there military tech worked to down this drone they have found? You might think that this would be a great triumph and something to report to the media. The article I linked to was posted today and they still are claiming that unidentified military equipment was being used. I suppose we can chalk that up to a editorial mistake. Still the inconsistencies are legion and people aren't taking it for one sec. Here is the picture that was taken early on in the fiasco by an easyjet pilot.
Have you got the drone?
