Seems to actually be our own on a need to know basis.

God bless America!

The American public needs to be given a briefing on what these are, not just"We don't know what they are but hey there's nothing to worry about."

They're obviously our own and on a need to know basis

They don't want us to know.

Their signals could be jammed but they are not.

They could be shot down but they are not.

Obviously cost a fortune.

it's our own.

They're sniffing for something flying low to the ground...

Must have received a credible threat

Maybe they are trying to protect America for real.

Maybe its private contractor work and military, both.

If its a nuke that got away, they are trying to find it asap.

Seriously scary times, however, they are working very hard to find or stop whatever it it.....

I trust the military to keep us safe, like Wolsey and others, they are regular folks like you and me.

Let's pull together and help America be great Again.

Musk is all about robotics and rockets, so maybe this is an Elon Musk roll out sort of deal

using new technology to make us protected with an overhead/space force dome?

Need to know!
You mention Elon ... and I have found it very interesting that it does not appear he has said much (anything?) about this drone situation. (If he has, I haven't seen it.) But this would seem to be right up his 'alley'. So I find it peculiar that he is not saying much.

Its our own and Space Force is going to protect us

Maybe like an over head type of shield?

I trust Trump to help keep us safe and to keep us strong from any threats.

God bless America!
Trump isn't president for what, 34 days.

But no drones here in 'flyoverland' (tee hee hee). Sorry.

Apparently they've now been reported in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, and nobody seems to know where they're coming from, who's operating them, or for what purpose. Some reports coming out of Pennsylvania relate that some of the drones seem to be spraying substances into the air above cities.

So far, the collective response from local, city, state, and Federal agencies has been to sit on their hands and say, "Duuuuhhhh.....weeda know?" o_O

I know what I'd do if one started hovering over my house.....

I suspect our government is fully aware of who's these are and what they are doing. My guess testing thermal surveillance distances.

Yeah, the silence is deafening, and he can do anything right now despite trump not yet being in office

Will he use technology to get a jump on keeping america safe from day one?

Well, I am reading today that these (U.S.) drones may be looking for radioactive materials.
If that is the case, it would explain Elon's silence.

So the drones have now been in Ohio also, at Wright Patterson AFB on Friday.
(The base reopened on Saturday.)

So you would seem to be in a safer place ... good for you! :oldthumbsup:

I use to feel that way when I lived in Oklahoma, until the Federal Building was bombed.

I see where CNN has come out spluttering and fearmongering about blasting the things out of the sky. Some of their arguments are ridiculous.

article said:
FBI officials have said they believe many of the suspected drone sightings are actually manned aircraft being misidentified by civilians....the FAA told CNN in an email Sunday that private citizens shooting at any aircraft, including drones, “poses a significant safety hazard.”

Right. Like the average citizen can't tell the difference between a 747 five miles high and a drone hovering at 150 feet. Please. :rolleyes: Furthermore, if whoever is actually operating these things is so worried about them being shot down, then don't put them up into the air to begin with; or at the very least, tell people why they're up there in the first place.


Why you shouldn’t try to shoot down a suspected drone​

Well, nukes are wrapped up with protective outer layers and have such thick shells no drone could detect it says the experts

That said, just know that a bird sucked into an airplane engine is gonna cause damage and possibly death

Why would it be lawful to have drones near airports or airbases at all?

What about power lines too?

If there's no known threat, then it's all a bunch of hysteria and we need to just go back to our lives and accept their presence everywhere

It's just a bunch of lawful hobbyists and other harmless stuff

Well, go to mass, say the rosary and trust in Jesus, like we have been doing.

Just trust.

An elderly man was recently arrested on federal charges in Florida for shooting a Walmart drone that was hovering over his house because it wouldn't leave.
Sounds almost reasonable of the guy. I’d think Walmart has some explaining to do. I hope this is a very public trial.
