Drone Hysteria

I think I'm talking about something different. The drones on sale here you can buy in the electrical shop that sells TV and household goods. They are about 24" across and have a little electric motor and little rotors to make them fly. You operate them with a hand held controller like a PlayStation thing.
I'm guessing you're referring to something bigger, not sure where you can buy those.

So, you think the hysteria is regarding toy drones? Drones the size of buses or SUV's are not toys and probably cost upwards of $50,000 each. They sometimes come in bunches. Near as I can tell, there are no retail outlets which sell these drones.

I didn't know and never heard of a drone that size. In my world, a drone is a toy, can be held with hands and controlled with a joystick or something.
So I searched what a drone is. Most sites I saw said :
A drone is a flying robot that can be remotely controlled or fly autonomously using software-controlled flight plans in its embedded systems.
or
A drone, also known as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), is an aircraft that can fly without a pilot on board. Drones can be controlled remotely by a human or autonomously by an internal or external computer

By these definitions, a F16 fighter is a drone too, because it can fly without a pilot and controlled remotely.

I don't know why, but even if I'm wrong, I tend to believe a drone as a toy. It frightens me to think of a helicopter size drone..

Actually, the people of New Jersey would agree with you completely. If they had a known cause / source of the drones, they could clamor at someone's doorstep to get an explanation. But as it stands, if those drones are not flying pre-authorized flights that are registered somewhere, they represent the unknown and THAT is the real problem.
 
I always thought that if the super paranoid USA had an unknown object (as Pat said) the size of a bus floating around, surely a couple of jets would scramble to check it out. It can't be that hard to track / follow it to find the source. Seems alot of hysteria over nothing.
Anyway, if it is like a bus there's plenty of room for passengers.
I reckon it's that rich bloke who's name sounds like an aftershave, who's behind it all, if it's true which I doubt, he's one dangerous person who needs watching.
There's no mention of any of this on UK news that I've seen.

Has anyone heard these drones? Most drones are battery operated with a flight time between 30 minutes and 50 minutes. If these were gas powered you would hear them. The one that crashed turned out to be a toy model.

Why would someone with nefarious intent comply with the FAA rules as to lights?

Gotta love the conspiracies. The end of the world is coming.

My drone weighs 249 grams. It costs $1000.00.

An Autel Dragonfish cost $112,000 (about the size of a remote controlled airplane)

Just a few receipts

"The border is secure" - Biden admin.

“When you get vaccinated, you not only protect your own health and that of the family, but you also contribute to the community health by preventing the spread of the virus throughout the community.” - Fauci

"If you like your Doctor you can keep him" - Obama

Anyone figured out who shot JFK yet? Didn't think so......
 
If drones are able to carry stuff, it should be easy to carry drugs from Mexico into the USA. Does that happen?

While I wouldn't doubt it for a moment, Col, I do not recall seeing any articles talking about that. It is a legitimate question.

Perhaps we don't see much because the Biden administration is so soft on so many illegal actions that to them it is a non-issue. But that would be a mere conjecture on my part.
 
Drone is a catch-all generic term for UAV's. The MQ-9 is a UAV while the smaller drones are classified as sUAV's.

I'm sure it does. There were recent arrests of people using drones to drop drugs and cellphones into the prison yards

My neighbour has a drone, it's like a baby helicopter with 3 rotors. You can buy them in most electrical shops, but I understand you are limited to where you can fly it.

Sure, but if they are large and could injure someone upon falling, and if there wasn't much of a limit to where people could fly them, I'm sure you'd also be concerned. The weird thing is our government not telling us much of anything, and why in the world can't someone just capture one of them already??
 
if the current administration wasn't so compromised they could answer the drone questions, but sadly like the border they are compromised.
 
Moke, it seems to me that at least one of those drones used to be a supersonic transport. If we see THAT flying around, it probably IS a drone because unless I missed the resurrection, the entire SST fleet was mothballed.
 
Just to help people understand, drones have been around something like 100 years. Fairey Aviation was making them for military use (targets) in the 1930's. These were full size aircraft. The concept of them as tiny toys is very new.
 
What people are seeing, could it be one of these? ;););)

There is a minor problem. Evidently the drone is capable of speeds around 15,000 MPH. At that speed, it would be difficult to observe. Also, I doubt the drone would fly at low altitudes.

The biggest problem with 15Kmph speeds at low altitudes is air friction. That was the killer of the YF12A and the SR71. They flew so fast that air friction and thermal expansivity made them a bit fragile. Worse, depending on how fast you cool them, things in the Mach 5+ range might not return to exact measurements. The spare parts wouldn't fit, either.
 
The truth behind the drone hysteria has been exposed! 😲
It's a false flag operation that is meant to sensitize us to the existence of intergalactic aliens. 👾:alien:
According to Greer there will be a "big" press release on this in the coming weeks. Shouldn't have to wait to long then.
Hopefully, the mother ship will be stopping by to pick me up. Been waiting for a long time. (Sorry, but I'm first in line @AccessBlaster)

Just remember that if they have a library of volumes and one of them is "To Serve Man" - it is not a book of charitable acts. It's a cookbook.
