A military drone, once mistaken for a UFO along DC highways back in June took flight Tuesday. The X-47Bdrone is the size of a fighter jet, and took off from the deck of an American aircraft carrier for the first time Tuesday in a test flight that could eventually open the way for the U.S. to launch unmanned aircraft from just about any place in the world.

The nuns' habits didn't seem to be habitual garb for three young women so Colombian police asked them to step aside when they arrived on the Caribbean island of San Andres on a flight from Bogota. Police Capt. Oscar Davila says the three women appeared nervous, and the fabric didn't look right. The chief of the island's judicial police says more than four pounds of cocaine (two kilos) was strapped to the legs of each woman. Davila says all three broke into tears and launched into ...

WASHINGTON -
The sign out front says "NO TRESPASSING," but trouble was already inside last week at Camp Ernest W. Brown in St. Mary's County in Maryland.
The website describes it as a "fun, safe environment" and one of the "most trusted residential summer camps" in the area.
But last week, parents learned their kids were coming home one day early. They also received a letter from the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Washington.
It says that some counselors "wrongfully instigated some of our young male campers to participate in inappropriate ‘fight club' type activities during the most recent summer camp session." One parent told FOX 5 children were being punched and trained to fight back.
But the situation was serious enough that the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Washington contacted parents and police, suspended workers and stopped camp temporarily. In fact, when we visited Camp Brown, a man who identified himself as the caretaker told us camp is closed.
Camp Brown is about 80 miles from Washington. It was actually named after a former D.C. Police Chief. The place has been around for years. D.C. Police's website says that there are often police officers on campus, but the mother we talked with says her child never saw any.
Maryland State Police and law enforcement in St. Mary's County describe it as "an open investigation."
FOX 5 has learned that some of the accused counselors came from D.C.'s summer youth employment program and that more than one of the counselors were terminated.
A spokesman for the Boys and Girls Clubs declined our request for an on-camera interview, but says they are focused on the "...primary goal of maintaining a safe and quality camp experience ... We will not let isolated shameful actions impact the great work we do."
A spokesperson says D.C. Police does not run the camp nor does it hire or provide counselors.
At this point, there are no criminal charges against the counselors. The investigation is ongoing.
