Just a few days after Google's parent company Alphabet Inc. announced plans to deliver food via drone on Watch Mound Daughterthe Virginia Tech campus, footage of what might be a lunch delivery has surfaced online.
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.
SEE ALSO: Alphabet and Chipotle are bringing burrito delivery drones to campusAs Bloomberg reports, Google's parent company has partnered with Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. and Virginia Tech to make the experiment a reality. The Federal Aviation Administration-approved deliveries are part of Alphabet Inc.'s Project Wing, which looks ahead to the future of drone delivery services.
But those truly reaping the project's benefits are the lucky college students who get to eat drone-delivered Chipotle burritos.
TheRoanoke Times says a spokesperson for Project Wing declined to comment on the footage, but said that the company will release more information as the experiment progresses. A spokesperson for Google told Mashable via email, "I can confirm that we've started testing in Blacksburg, though can't comment further."
