At their closest, the two aircraft were 100 vertical feet and 200 lateral feet part from each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hours prior to the incident, the unarmed drone had been loitering about 4 nautical miles away from the Nimitz at an altitude of about 7,000 feet, the official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Super Hornet landed safely and the drone eventually departed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The encounter marked the 13th unsafe or unprofessional flight incident involving Iran this year, the official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
