WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- The number of pilots reporting near collisions with small drones has surged in the last six months just as the FAA is beginning to open the skies to even more of the craft.
Air traffic controllers, airliners and private pilots have reported 25 incidents of near-misses with the drones since June 1. The small craft came within seconds or a few feet of crashing into the larger planes.
