BANGOR — Who's flying drones over the Bangor submarine base? The Navy wants to know.

On Feb. 8, a drone was seen flying above Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor and reported by a civilian employee, spokeswoman Silvia Klatman said.

The airspace above the base is designated as "prohibited." It's illegal and hazardous to operate there without permission and coordination of authorities, according to the Navy, which is investigating.

"It's our intent to support the investigation and prosecution of this reported act, and any others that may occur, in coordination with civilian law enforcement," Klatman said. She wouldn't provide more information while the investigation is ongoing except to say the Navy is committed to the security of its infrastructure, people and neighbors.

1. So, how do you like it, Navy?

Was only a matter of time before our Military-Industrial Complex was on the receiving end of drone surveillance from somebody else. Not so innocuous when the prying eyes are on you, is it?
