The odds of receiving part of a $350,000 government drone in the mail are very slim.
But Reddit user Seventy_Seven got just that. He posted images of the contents of a UPS package Monday that contained wings and a control panel.
"Did I just get a drone in the mail?" Seventy_Seven wrote.
The wrongly delivered box, which was sent to an address in New York, came with a card stating it was the property of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's aircraft operations center in Tampa.
NOAA spokesman David Miller told USA TODAY Network that parts of a NOAA Puma drone were not delivered to the intended location of Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary in Massachusetts for "environmental research." In all, there were supposed to be eight boxes delivered to the sanctuary, Miller said in an e-mail.
UPS has picked up the misdirected package and is delivering it to the intended address Wednesday, company spokeswoman Susan Rosenberg told USA TODAY Network.
