The U.S. Secret Service is investigating a small drone recovered on the grounds of the White House this morning.

According to a statement from the Secret Service, the device—a quadcopter about two feet in diameter—was reportedly flying at a low altitude near the White House before it crashed on the the southeast side of the property at about 3:08 a.m. this morning.

Following the crash, the White House was immediately locked down until Secret Service agents determined that the drone posed no threat. President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama are currently in New Delhi, India.

Obama was briefed on the incident and White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said in a statement that “early indications are that it does not pose any sort of ongoing threat to anybody at the White House.”

An investigation into the drone and how it crashed onto the White House grounds is currently under way.
