Surprise package: How would you react if you received $350,000 at home? A student, a US resident, received a notice at his home about a package from the US government. When he opened the box, he discovered a component belonging to an advanced drone aircraft belonging to the US National Oceanic Administration (NOAA). The component that arrived to the student was part of the aircraft's control panel. The value of the package that arrived is no less than $350,000.

The Puma drone is a new aircraft that has not yet been tested, and it will monitor wildlife and conduct scans over the ocean. Its flight range is eight kilometers, and it is capable of flying for about two hours at a time.

The student contacted NOAA and reported the loss. "They were happy to hear from me," the young man said. "They were aware that one of their mail items was missing and they didn't believe they would get it back.".

David Miller, a spokesman for NOAA, said the company sent eight boxes containing the plane's components to the base from which it will take off, so that it can be assembled there and set off on its missions. "One of the boxes accidentally ended up with the student, and we are already looking forward to receiving it so that the plane can be assembled and begin flying.".
