Jacob Demmitt of the Roanoke Timescaptured what he says is footage of a drone delivering a package on campus in Blacksburg, Virginia. The clip, shot on Monday, shows a drone lowering a package by string into the middle of a field. After the package detaches from the drone, a pair of people retrieve it.
