Federal law prohibits drone pilots from flying above nuclear facilities, military sites and other restricted airspace.

The compound is taking the sightings very seriously and is working with the federal, state and local authorities to find out who is responsible. As drones are becoming more popular, federal lawmakers are having to come up with new rules for them. FULL REPORT
