It is not clear how close the drone flew, or even if it appeared to be purposefully operating near the president.
Similar cases have occurred over the past few months. Unmanned aerial vehicles have crashed on the White house lawn in two separate incidents over the last year. This was the third instance of a drone flying uncomfortably close to the US president.
The FAA report was obtained from a Freedom of Information Act request by the Palm Beach Post. The Secret Service has not commented on the incident.
