“Just called UPS. They told me that it was one of the undelivered packages in their office, and asked if I’ve ever had an undelivered package. I said no, but he insisted that it was mine, and said that it was up to me if I want to keep it or not,” he wrote. “Nothing on the outside of the crate said it was government property. I had ordered a weightlifting bench (which I received) and this came with it. Both boxes has UPS labels with my name and address. Though an odd box, I genuinely thought it was parts for the bench I ordered, since I wasn’t expecting a freaking drone.”

The package was mailed from MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, where NOAA has an operations center. NOAA commonly uses drones (not the Puma) to monitor hurricanes and other weather off the Florida coast. A card in the package says “USA Federal Property Return to: NOAA Aircraft Operations Center.”
