They wouldn't likely do that with the first one. This would be only to gauge our reaction for future attempts, and to desensitize us to the presence of them. "Oh, don't worry. It's just another one of tho... KAPOWEEEE!" : )My first reaction was “Shoot it down. This is ridiculous.”

FAA has issued a NOTAM off Chareston
Yep... AFTER it finished gathering data and beaming it back. Wouldn't want those pesky Hungarians getting their hands on it and disclosing what its ACTUAL capabilities were : )They just shot it down. It is headed for a splash down
No doubt the USAF is writing up the F-22 Wing Commander for the MOH for his heroic 'kill'.
