One night in July, Const. Brian Griffith was responding to a call in Air-1, the Edmonton police helicopter, when he saw something flying near him.
At first he thought it was a bird, but on closer inspection he realized it was a high-flying drone, white with red lights and a rotor at each of its four corners.
“We were flying at about 180 kilometres an hour, 1,500 feet off the ground,” Griffith said Friday.
