The drone program gave rise to at least one crazy incident on August 16, 1956 where a Navy Grumman F6F-5K Hellcat drone went rogue and circled over the heavily-populated Los Angeles area for several hours, while a pair of USAF Northrop F-89 Scorpions scrambled to shoot it down safely.
The jets fired 208 rockets at the Hellcat, and all missed. Eventually it ran out of fuel and crashed, lighting a massive brush fire.
LOL, GO Navy!
