I'm gonna eat crow on this one. My post was based on the assumption that the drone below was one of the recent ones found in NY. They have added a disclaimer now.Joes said:I get that. I'm just not sure yet they are bigger. How are people able to tell they're 8 feet across instead of 3 feet across in the dark from a mile away? I don't think they're toys, but there is an enormous amount of crap in the air at all times. Like I said, I'm not saying nothing unusual is going on, maybe there is, I have no way to know that, I just don't seem to be seeing what everyone else is so far. I'm curious to see what I'm missing though.El Gallo Blanco said:I have only ever seen tiny little toy handheld drones in real life. These are significantly bigger. Also, it is not normal for politicians and news radio people to be addressing toy drones flown by enthusiasts here and there.Joes said:I still don't know what to make of it all. I haven't seen any singular video or picture that makes me say "Wow, what is that???" They're not dragons, or Star Destroyers, or fork-tailed devils, they're just typical drones and planes and helicopters with standard navigation lights. It's like a bunch of people spontaneously said "Wow, I never noticed that so much stuff is flying over us all the time." And that news caused more people to look, and then more people. But all I see (so far) is the same stuff that's always there. But it's not like I've seen every video so maybe I'm missing something. If nothing else it's an interesting study of human behavior. And if there's more to it then I'll be curious about that too, and I'm continuing to follow it.El Gallo Blanco said:I don't know a single person who is freaking out over these drones to be honest. It doesn't seem to be on many peoples' radar, aside from casual curiosity, like is being displayed on here for the most part.Texas velvet maestro said:Well how did the government" think people would react when they saw all this bizarre **** in the sky?El Gallo Blanco said:
I hate the government and want transparency as much as anyone, but, hypothetically, if the theories that they are monitoring for radioactivity/potential WMD were true, I could see why they wouldn't be completely forthcoming. Also a few other potential scenarios where hiding the truth might be somewhat justified.
They didn't think that far ahead?
Hiding the truth behind this drone/light show, means a cover story or lie. And how would the lie make Americans feel? anxious? I doubt we're near the truth.
Now if it were released that they were sweeping large areas because of some type of imminent terrorist threat/WMD detection etc., you would have that entire side of the country, and much more, freaking the hell out.
All that said, I don't trust the govt one bit and this is probably them.
