While the Secret Service has yet to release any more details about the operator of the drone that crashed at the White House, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency has identified the operator as one of its own employees.
The 2-foot-long quadcopter was found early Monday morning.
"The employee was off duty and is not involved in work related to drones or unmanned aerial vehicles in any capacity at NGA," said the agency in a statement on Tuesday.
Earlier Tuesday, The New York Times reported the man had been drinking at a friend's apartment prior to heading outside to fly the drone around 3 a.m. Monday. The man said he lost track of the drone and feared it flew over the White House.
