5:20pm–#Bridgeport CT #FBI–Police received a call from security at the Bridgeport power plant that the plant was being recorded by a remote control airplane that had a camera onboard. The airplane was being flown by a Chinese Nationalist who is in the country on an extended student visa. The student has already graduated from a nearby university and was permitted to stay in the country. Sources tell me the remote plane was “pretty sophisticated” but crashed into the water behind the power plant. Police had contacted the Homeland Security who contacted the FBI who are on the way to investigate.
