Aliens.
Called a Mini TATS as in Tactical Aerial Target, the early versions had zero look for realism but the later family as this one is looked more "real". At Gagetown the Arty School flew these for various MG courses. We had one go down in the grass a couple hundred metres down range and it was kind of funny to hear the TATs operator screaming to not shoot at it as seven C5s chopped it to splinters.

Looks like the old RC planes we used to shoot at on the Machine gun course for Anti aircraft drills with the MGs
That was my next question....were they used by Canadian Forces?
Found the manual for the bird.

On page 36 of the PDF shows a diagram and the specs.

For those interested in much earlier version of target drone there were US made target kites

Detailed plans and period instructions for it are somewhere on the net-if I was into kites I would build one in a heart beat.
