You know oddly enough. Couple years ago had a drone buzzing my property while I was cutting grass aggratived. Decided to take a shot at it. Watched it go down then ran over it with mower. Surprised me that I hit it with my judge.
Later that afternoon guy shows up say I think my drone went down here. Nope ain't seen it. LoL
Bent two blades on mower
You'd need a bigger gun and for the ones being sighted around the country now. They are the size of an SUV.

Yikes be careful that’s a federal crime! I have a pretty nice drone. You have to register them with the faa and get a certificate before flying. We use ours for business which requires another certification. They have chips in them and faa does in fact track them. At 400ft you have entered illegal airspace unless you contact faa beforehand. Rules are pretty strict which is why this is so concerning
 
These are most likely the drones. They are US and operate like the Osprey in that they have vertical tack off and landing but can fold out wings to be a fixed wing craft. Both of which have been witnessed from the ground in this conversation. These are US Navy craft deployed from a Naval ship.

 
I read an article about the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission that said they admitted to “losing“ some radioactive material. It was shipped by a government contractor to be disposed, but when the container arrived it was “badly damaged and contents were missing”. So there is that. There is also a concern of a warhead out of Ukraine from the Cold War era that could have made its way to the US. whatever it is, they are currently lying and covering, which makes me very uneasy about the whole thing.
I think I read that same article. Plus a couple talking about missing or mysteriously vanishing radioactive material on a global level. Scary stuff for sure.

As a company we have about 1M in drones and they can do lots of stuff and sensing but for anything commercial there is a flight plan filed for each flight…..these are being flown in the commercial zones so they have flight plans….. especially since they are flying at night.

I think they are sensing radiation, methane (floral carbons), or heat masses. If not the first, I wouldn’t be surprised they are trying to get evidence of green house gas emissions to fine companies……..

Then there is the fact that Musk “x’d” back in September that we are about to see drone wars like never before……or something to that effect…..
 
Ain't noticed any drones flying around out here, but I did see the Goodyear blimp fly over the water tower across the road from the house a couple months ago. Figured it took a wrong turn somewhere to end up way out here lol.

These vertical take off fixed wigs are very popular. I had one (a similar) in my office for a year while we were using it to map all kinds of things. Very very cool!

So we’ve seen drones but we have also seen “orbs” usually a solid spinning ball of light. What are those? Data collection? Power supply to run all the drones? Aliens?

Btw I believe in a multiverse and think we are all running on timelines. Like we exist in several levels. Did something get opened up?

Definitely not hobby drones that just any of us can get our hands on. Rumors say some could be manned but everything seems like speculation now
We have some pretty massive ones that we use for LIDAR mapping, they have to carry the scanner, computer and Hard drives (solid state) to store massive amounts of collected data……

Oh yeah I understand. Saw some crazy drones in the army and realize they are used heavily private. Even crop dusting is going that way. My unit actually got to throw one of the first experimental battlefield drones in Iraq back in around 2005. Basically toys with what we can have today. Yes you saw that right. Launch by throwing lol. Of course predator drones much larger and more sophisticated had also been deployed by then

You just described a multi head LIDAR scanner…..
 
Then they should just say that shit lol…….whhyyyyyyy?
I think you hit it right on the head and the same thing the president elect said in his press conference today……lol…..

But ask yourself, why are they 3d mapping everything……ie this stuff is design grade or can be…..ie down to the tenth of a foot or more……it could be a simple as google got a contract to start mapping the US for asset mapping or some such thing…… oh when me mapped with planes we got pics and 3d maps without anyone even knowing we did it…..aside from the places we put control down on…….apple and google have fleets of LIDAR vehicles they have already driven every major road in the world on……now think about that……..and people wonder why their phone costs 1500

That is exactly what I’m asking. Mapping if it was google they would just say hey google is upgrading the world and all the people would come out and wave and smile at the drones. As a society I think we are pretty comfortable with the upgrades of the world. Maps, gps etc. obviously that’s not happening so why is our government all of the sudden flying drones with no explanation? That’s the scary part. Definitely afraid they are mapping search grids to look for something
 
One of the “experts” that addressed this specific issue, I think his name was Ferguson, said that drones can’t see sh!t at night and have to have equipment on board, not for mapping, but what he called “smelling the ground” for something specific. They fly autonomous with AI technology so they have a flight plan and a mission. They are gathering data, not mapping, mostly that is ruled out because mapping has already been done and not workable at night. These drones have equipment on board and a mission to find something.
