Q: Photo locations wrong

Photos (1.0) pictures taken by iPhone 6+ (version 8.3) pics in DC and Virginia located in Western Mediterranean Sea, Valencia, Balearic Sea & Valencia. Started happening March 28 through last night. (April 18th).

 

Is this a phone, ATT&T carrier, Apple iCloud or very weird hack?

How can I correct the location meta data? 

iPhone, iOS 8.3

    Photos does not support changing location

     

    You would need to do this in iPhoto or another app then reimport the image.

     

    I suspect the abnormal location data arose in the phone itself but difficult to say unless you can open in another location aware app to test.

    I have this same issue too, but it only happens when I'm taking photos from my Parrot AR 2 drone. It has happened from my 4s to my 5s to my 6s Plus. Always with the drone.  Always Baeleric Sea.
