here is an interesting piece, note the dates please.
Sep 23, Unknown, Unidentified UAV
reported as having crashed near the village of jalal khel, 5 miles (8km) from Angoor Adda in Pakistan's S.Waziristan tribal region and 2 miles (3km) from the border with Afghanistan. the wreckage was recovered by security forces. local pashtun tribesman claimed they had shot it down but officials said they thought it had merely suffered a technical malfunction. although some reports suggested it was a USAF MQ-1 Predator, pentagon officials said they had no knowledge of any UAV loss in the region.. a pakistani intelligence officer said the UAV was only 3ft (0.9m) long, with a wing-span of about 5ft (1.5m), making it very much smaller than a Predator, but further details were not reported,
Sep 23, USAF, MQ-1 Predator
crashed in paktika province, eastern afghanistan, about 60 miles (96km) west of the pakistan border, following engine problems, but US forces quickly recovered the UAV.
what is common in USAF MQ-1 Predator ops along the pak-afghan border:
S.Waziristan, Angoor Adda. sounds like a cover-up.
