UK police still have no proof of the drone attack that grounded 1,000 Gatwick

Drone sightings at Gatwick grounded 1,000 flights from Dec 19 to 21, affecting the holiday travel plans of about 140,000 people and wreaking havoc during some of the busiest travel days of the year. But just how many drones caused this massive disruption, who was operating them and, most importantly, why? Over a week and a half later, there are still no answers, no culprits, and no drones recovered. The best British authorities can offer is that they are “absolutely certain” there was at least 1 drone. Sussex police said there had been 115 reports of drone sightings to police, including 93 confirmed as coming from credible sources, such as law enforcement and air traffic employees. But police also had to concede that it was possible that police drones launched to catch the perpetrator(s) during the ordeal caused “some level of confusion”. <br/>
