"NORAD said they dispatched F-16 fighter jets after a private aircraft entered what was considered a no-fly zone or a TFR, temporary restrictions near where the president was."
"What was more interesting in this case is NORAD says the F-16s when they got up next to that private plane, they had to dispatch flares to get the pilot's attention."
"The Secret Service and they said at no point was there any threat to either the president, or Air Force One."
"That was not the case. Secret Service said that was a miscommunication, it was nothing to do with drones, and instead it was all in regard to this private aircraft."
NORAD dispatched F-16 fighter jets after a small plane entered restricted airspace over Mar-a-Lago while President Trump was in Miami. The FAA and Secret Service establish no-fly zones around the president. Flares were used to alert the pilot of the private aircraft. The plane quickly exited the restricted area. The Secret Service confirmed there was no threat to the president or Air Force One. A viral video mistakenly suggested drones were near the president's plane, which was clarified as a miscommunication.
