A drone washed ashore Taketomi Island . It's a US training drone called the Beechcraft MQM-107 Streaker. They launch these things from the ground, then it deploys a target that it tows behind it. Jet fighters catch up to it and practice shooting the target with missiles. Then the drone drops to the ground to be retrieved, outfitted with a new target and launched again.
I feel like this could be the first scene in a story. Some strange technology washes ashore a tiny island in the pacific. They're able to reverse engineer it, and create a weapon to help them defend themselves from some outside threat (kaiju maybe? or pirating raiders?)
Anyway, I thought it looked cool upside down.
