I noticed on a number of the drone videos that they have regular aviation lighting - flashing red on left side and flashing green on right side.

Rowdie I thought he was going to be working so much he would not have time for golf.... Oh wait that is what he said his first term. BTW how many millions did his clubs make off the taxpayers?
As said earlier, if you want to shoot them down, go ahead and face the consequences. I expect you will be seeing more of them here in ND as the ag industry is embracing their use for crop management.

I got one of those DJI Phantom drones when they first came out. I wonder if the Chinese planted some sort of bug in it to take over my personal data.

If I were ruler of NJ: I'd place an add in SOF for snipers with Barretts. I'd stage them on rooftops with the Atlantic Ocean/Europe as the backstop. Precision control sonic devices could also be effective.

Although crude and inelegant; it'd get a ball rolling.

That is all.

Even a high-end drone of the types in the select few videos I have seen would have ended up in the ocean from an Iranian military ship not in U.S. Coastal Waters.

Do you guys really think we'd let an Iranian ship within drone distance of the U.S.? Remember, drones of this size tend to have a less than a 10-15 mile range.
Our airforce military drones....100's of mile range if not 1000's

True, but what is also true is that is not what we are seeing in the sky over our east coast. Those are small electric drones. Our military's drones with the range you mention all use aviation fuel. Not batteries.

Yes, they absolutely have done exactly that. This is why federal, and more recently including state agencies, are forbidden to use them. Same as TikTok.

Would have you believed it possible for terrorists to blow up the trade center building before 911 happened?

Why not leave the lights on? We aren't doing anything about it. :ROFLMAO:

I agree, it's more than likely nothing, but it's very fishy.
1. yep

2. They wouldn't have known that until they experimented with leaving the lights on.

In the end, here we sit with a handful of lawbreakers flying personal drones as they wish, with no repercussions.

Shit, not even crop management. There are several companies flying drones like this in ND just to take panoramic pictures of your homestead, and then they contact you to try and get you to pay them a fairly steep price for a picture of your home.

I only know this because they have been successful, and I now have framed pics of my parents' place. derp...

The drones are about 6’ in length and are coming from off the coast with approximately 50 at a time, these are not “ small electric drones “

I have also heard they are large drones. Even some of the small drones now have battery life over an hour and if your pockets are deep you can get slightly larger drones that stay up for a couple of hours. I watched a video last year of a guy flying his drone from Maui to Lanai and back.

Do amy of you remember a couple years ago 25 to 30 drones flying in formation over Colorado for a couple hours every night for two weeks? The gov denied that they were theirs. Highway patrol chased them, sheriff's dept followed them. Many people tried to find their origin, but it was never solved. It must have been a mother ship off the coast of Wyoming.

? Video's released show quite large fixed wing drones moving slow or stationery, whatever they are they need to drop em,citizens should have target practice

If they're our military why the hell isn't someone saying something?

The fact is, it seems very apparent that nobody seems to know where they're coming from or who is flying them.

Doesn't that seem a LITTLE strange? Just a little?
Exactly.

Why hasn't the military taken some of these down to find out wtf is going on? Doesn't make sense unless it is in fact our own military or government drones.

They need to develop some type of anti-drone defense weapon that can either bring them all down with a huge electrical static charge or something. Maybe they could jam their radio transmitting waves and thus making them inoperable?
