U.S. authorities brought down suspicious drones that entered the airspace over the 2026 Masters Tournament and Formula 1’s Miami Grand Prix in April and May, respectively, according to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin.

Mullin, who testified on Wednesday in front of the House Homeland Security Committee, told lawmakers that there were a dozen drones that entered the restricted airspace over the golf tournament at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, while there were eight that entered the space over the F1 race in Florida.
