I would do it myself if I had the equipment or money. But, I could volunteer to be part of any operation to capture the rogue drones.

I agree that big net would not be the safest way to capture one. But, latching grapple hooks and cables with weights attached to one of them may work better. Or, some other creative method.
Just keep adding more hooks and weight as needed to force it to gradually lower its altitude.
Anyways, leaving them up there to do whatever it is they are doing is based on the assumption that they are harmless.
I do not concur with that assumption. Take the fucking things out, or else come clean with the facts that we know about what they are, and what they are doing.
There are plenty of people who make really big mistakes by trying to approach bison or bears in Yellostone National Park. Those animals are harmless, too---if they are unmolested. It is probably the military's OBSERVATION that they are so far harmless, and the deduction that if they were of harmful intent, that would have been clear at the outset.
It does seem that they have some kind of proximity detection, and if they are the size of an SUV (as claimed), you have no idea if they are carrying the equivalent of the Mother of All Claymore Mines aboard as a fireworks greeting for any amorous intent. You don't want half a dozen of self-forging steel needles to zip through your helicopter wall, through you, and out the other wall.
