Yeah. The feds follow paperwork. I was once able to get a request filled about a meeting that I knew would cover a topic they denied knowing anything about. Guess what was in the meeting file? Them talking about said topic.

Edit: if this is a normal drone company with a process, they are going to be filing these requests. You don't mess with the FAA. The drones have their lights on, I'm guessing they are also filing their paperwork.
