Border patrol agents arrested two people as they attempted to pick up 130 pounds of meth that had been dropped over the U.S.-Mexico border by an ultralight aircraft on Dec. 16.

Video footage released by the border control shows a microlight (a powered adaptation of a hang glider) flying with no lights just north of Calexico in California, before turning back toward Mexico after jettisoning its load.
