## Record

**Verified extract — [Fact — A1]** Natalie Wheeler of the East Oregonian reported that Northeastern Oregon’s proposed drone testing range encompasses the city of Pendleton and several hundred miles of land southeast of the town. Officials who put together Pendleton’s drone application would not release the actual range map until a contract is signed with the Federal Aviation Administration in the coming weeks. The FAA may make adjustments to Pendleton’s range in the interim. The FAA approved the University of Alaska’s application Monday to be one of six (test sites).

**Kinematic object.** Proposed civil UAS test range (Pendleton / northeastern Oregon).

**Coverage frame.** civil / test site

## Source integrity

- Why this is treated as an original: East Oregonian staff byline on the local Pendleton drone-range application.
- Wire reprint status: Staff-written. An adjacent Medicaid story is AP (Jonathan J. Cooper); the drone block is Wheeler / East Oregonian.
- OCR / image-page caveats: A1 teaser interleaves with the AP health story. Locked facts are the Pendleton range geography, FAA contract timing, and Alaska site approval.
- What was excluded: Medicaid ER-visit AP story and missionary brief.

## LRRK relevance

Watch / Passport. A Watch desk would have logged a multi-hundred-mile UAS test box drawn around Pendleton awaiting an FAA site contract.
