April 30, 2019 'Suspicious Occurrence' incident at LLNL Site 300 (the experimental test site supporting the weapons program by assessing non-nuclear weapon components). A supervisor reported that two security escorts near building 815 independently said: 'I saw a round silver drone flying around the Process Area and periodically stopping and hovering for several seconds.' Images were analyzed by Sandia National Laboratories; the substantive results were redacted as 'unclassified controlled nuclear information.' Cited by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna to Sec. Granholm as a documented 'metallic spheres' sighting over a DOE facility.
