Anyway, can someone (perhaps the original poster) explain what specifically is happening? :)

Recently has started making statements about hijacking drones: http://cryptome.org/2013/07/parastoo-uav-launch2.htm
TLDR: Iranian chap(s) have been on a hacking spree and seem to be honing in on what they like to target. In this case US drones over US skies/assets.
US drones over US skies
Are you saying the US uses drones on their own territory?
If yes, what for? Spying their own people comes to my mind, but maybe I read to much spy stories lately and there are legitimate reasons.I'll just leave this here from Orwell's 1984:
In the far distance a helicopter skimmed down between the roofs,
hovered for an instant like a bluebottle,
and darted away again with a curving flight.
It was the police patrol, snooping in people's windows.> According to the documents, CBP already appears to be flying drones well within the Southern and Northern US borders, and for a wide variety of non-border patrol reasons. What’s more — the agency is planning to increase its Predator drone fleet to 24 and its drone surveillance to 24 hours per day / 7 days per week by 2016.
There appear to be no privacy controls for citizens currently, but they may add them… eventually.

The FBI has very recently admitted to using them for domestic surveillance, but I don't think specifics were mentioned.
