And the beat drones on and on!

Curious...  If these machines are being sent by sneaky, seditious, and evil nogoodniks... why are they flying around with their lights on?

'Cause it's the law? 

 

Mayorkas says it's all okay, so it must be. He also says it will be okayer if they just give DHS more authority.

He also said the border is under control and there’s no problem. I don’t believe one word out of his mouth!😡

Those "lights" are actually turn signals....they're Canadian drones.

Come On Man! We should all recognize that it's the Beta Test for the SkyNet 1.0 release.

 

 

Been nice knowing you all.

Obviously there is an objective (target). In order to conceal the objective you have to fly numerous different locations to conceal what your objective is. There are way to many deniers that have been denying for the last few years. Border is secure, the economy is great, inflation is under control, jobs creation is the best in years. Obvious.

Wright Patterson Air Force base in Ohio closed down this morning for 4 hours due to extreme drone activity!

It certainly feels like "Somebody" is doing surveillance.

 

Maybe Google Maps is updating their satellite imagery using drones (and just forgot to tell the authorities...  )

You would think that Google would alert authorities. I don’t think they need their drones to be shot down which is looking more and more possible.🙄

Oh, I agree.  I have to figure out how to post a emoji...

 

All Fixed.

Trump said he has been briefed on the drones, but would not disclose what he was told. The Pentagon says they know nossing! But has anybody talked with the National Reconaisance Office (not that they would tell you the time of day) or the outfit that controls the X-47B or whatever that thing is called that flies in orbit for months-on-end?

 

Remember the first U.S. jet fighter out at Edwards? The one they had to hang a wooden propeller on the front when it was outside the hanger? 

 

Come on, people, calm down and don't worry...those drones are ours! Probably launched from our mothership.

With apologies to Walt Kelly...

 

 

[watab kid]

in terms of this admin - they just ignored the balloon [maybe noone will notice] , they were telling the truth about the boarder [it was wide open just like they wanted it to be ] these drones are really aircraft and if you wont buy that just know there is no danger even if we have no idea whats going on [just go way]

I watched the Trump statement.  He did not say he was briefed, he said he was not going to comment on whether he had been briefed. He also said the drones were everywhere and he was not going home this weekend (NJ).

Clear picture of the drones

Expanded out to include Boston and the Washington DC area.  The fee is live and includes almost all commercial and private aircraft.  It usually does not include military aircraft.

 

Are there drones flying over sensitive sites in NJ and other places, probably.  Is it being exaggerated, probably.  My own guess is that anything with lights is a legitimate flight by an aircraft or already known drone user.

 

Is a couple of moving lights in the sky with no audible noise a drone or just an aircraft too high to be heard?

 

How many people can REALLY there difference between a drone and some aircraft at night?

[Long Fingers, SASS#56813]

This thread got me thinking about drones being used for nefarious reason. 
Seems like it would be relatively simple to turn even a basic drone into a killing device. What would keep someone from strapping a IED to one and taking out a target. You wouldn’t need line of sight like with a rifle, bad guy could be about anywhere undetected. How would you defend against such an attack? How soon before someone drops one into a crowd or…. POTUS motorcade!! 
Maybe I have watched to many movies but seems plausible.

My mistake.  But saying he wouldn't comment on whether he had been briefed is the same as a "No comment." Which is about the same as a comment.  As to not going home this weekend, he may not be intending to "go home" as he may have other things to do.  

 

I still say these are an ultra-classified program that is so compartmentalized that the Pentagon doesn't know about it. Or, they are flat lying to cover it. BTW, this is the 121st anniversary of the Wright Brothers flying at Kittyhawk.

His exact comment at the end of his statement about the drones and going home was "cancel the trip". To me made it sound like he might have thought something was up.

The gov of New York said they had to shut down an airport because of a drone problem. The airport was shut down for over an hour. Guess  she must have been lying.

this alone should make it a national emergency , the secretary of transportation should be talking to the FAA about a national emergency and they should be looking at military action as a terrorist act ... but that seems to be out of this admins realm , they have no plans nor do the affect any response's , sooner they are all gone the better- long as we dont get invaded in the meantime [other than that southern boarder thats been regularly invaded and the northern thats nbeen compromised as well
