So, I saw a vehicle turn off of the highway onto my private road that goes to my well.  It is a bit of a rough road, so not many people try it.  But I have had a couple of times where someone messed with my well, so I have a camera trained in that direction.  When I saw this vehicle, I was just about to go outside to fly my Phantom anyway, so instead of driving over in my truck, I sent the Phantom.  I would love to post the video here, but I am afraid the mods, or some of the more prudish members would take exception to the 1/2 second or so of possible nudity.  But you should have seen the mad scramble.  Apparently, they were planning a lovers tryst.  They had a blanket on the ground and were setting up camp.  Until they heard the Phantom.  The woman jumped into the back of the SUV pretty quick.  The man threw the blanket over his head as he scrambled to load up the rest of their stuff.  He left it over his head until he got in the car, and away they went.  I followed them out to the highway, because until I reviewed the video I was not sure what was going on, and I wanted to get the license plate number.  Which I did.  Zoomed in and sharpened up it is readable.
If I had known they were in an emergency situation, I would have let them be.  It is a nice spot for a quickie, after all.
I get the feeling they were not married.  At least, not to each other.  
Just thought I would share this story, because it was pretty funny.

So, the ultimate would be to get an address that ties in with the license plate number and send them a copy of the footage.....

After looking at the video, I realize you cant really see any of the interesting fleshy bits, so I decided to post it.  Here it is:

That is actually quite funny. If you have been a bit later they may well have been preoccupied and not noticed you flying above.

Almost looked like after he got in and settled, he sent you the #1 salute, not real clear, maybe, maybe not. at any rate funny.
And what a comfortable plush location they picked.
Think I saw that location in a roadrunner cartoon.

The sound of the drone must have been the last thing they expected, I think it's safe to say they will never be back!

You are probably correct.  The thing is, had I known their purpose for being there, I would have let them be.  I understand emergency situations.  But having had people there before who interfered with my water well, it seems prudent to keep an eye on things.  And the Phantom did a very good job at that.

actually they can let it go inside the car...by F in the NF*Z its dangerous while rattle snake and other insects might CRAWL in...thats why the land authority should also put a NF*Z in these area..its safer and more comfy and not under the hot sun esp.
If its a Gvt Authorize Drone flying there for rounding....wouldnt they be the limelight on the day news? LOL

Nice bit of land you have there Kneepuck.
After closely viewing the video, several times, I think that their air con was out. You should have done the right thing and went in lower so the blades cooled them down. Actually I think you cooled them down quite nicely.

Did you attach loudspeakers to your Phantom and played the Ride of the Valkyries?
