Aerial drone draws attention in Butler County

(BUTLER COUNTY, Kan.) — Drivers traveling through Butler County this morning may have had to look twice. That is if they saw an object that almost looked out of this world.

The Butler County Sheriff's Department escorted a military drone from the south end of the county through the east end. Sheriff Kelly Herzet and his deputies led the wide load along Highway 77 and Highway 400. He says the aircraft is traveling from California to Maryland.

This isn't the first time a drone has made its way through Butler County, Herzet says one came through just last fall.
