Eagle or Drone???

[Sedalia Dave]

It may look like an eagle but its actually a stealthy bird-drone for covert missions

Reminds me of Stephen Falcon’s pterodactyl in 1983’s “War Games”.

Another plus is it’s less likely to be shot by someone that hates drones flying over their property.

Hard to cover up the noise of those screaming motors and props. But pretty cool!!

Above 50’ or so, do they make that much perceptible noise?

Had this visitor at work earlier this week.  I prefer this version.  Picture taken with Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra at about 20 feet.

Hardly Covert try out the Nano that DARPA has working

Honestly don't know on that bird one, but the four prop ones I've been around, you could hear from quite ways away or up.

Not me. I wouldn’t hear a NASCAR racer until a nanosecond before it hit me.

YES!!!

They are putting a bike path at the back of our property and have been using the drones to do imaging for their tree removal. At about 80 feet up you can hear them over 200 feet away. Now they are bigger than the ones used by jerks trying to get pictures of your daughters or wife but regardless of their purpose they are danged annoying!

Lynx Lake, about four miles from my house, has bald eagles for a week or so every year.  In the eight years I've lived here they have visited my yard three times, two males and a female.  They are the most majestic looking animals on the planet.

Son came down to visit from Minnesota. I was setting on the Indian Mound.  He came over to chat.  Clear blue sky. Happened to look up and just safety above tree level a white drone about torpedo size slipped silently past. Sneaky bastards. No ideas whose drone it belong to or what it wanted to find out.
