Drone mystery deepens with Chinese man's troubling Google history after his arrest for 'flying over US base' A Chinese man has been arrested for allegedly flying a drone over Vandenberg Space Force Base, as the FBI investigates mysterious drones in New Jersey.
Yinpiao Zhou, 39, a Chinese National now living in Brentwood, California, was charged with failure to register an aircraft not providing transportation and violation of national defense airspace.
The FBI is investigating, but during a Wednesday briefing, a representative from the Department of Homeland Security said: 'We have no more information as to where these drones are coming from, where they're launching from, where they're landing.'.
He is in federal custody pending prosecutors' appeal of a federal magistrate judge's decision to release him.
No plea was taken and his arraignment is expected to be scheduled in US District Court in Los Angeles in the coming weeks.
