    It seems like no one knows who is operating them. I saw the spokesman for the Defense Department say they don't know who is operating but they don't pose a threat to the public. But how can they say that if they don't know who owns them.

    Politicians on both sides of the aisle are asking questions and starting to get upset by the lack of answers.

    Not a fan of drones in general. I get the temptation of private citizens to shoot them down, but that brings other risks out. Not beyond the pale to suppose our adversaries would use drones to spy or destroy things.

    I thought about buying a drone so I could check and see if any of my neighbors wives sunbathe nude by their swimming pools.

    Probably Iran or China. Nothing to worry about.

    LOL ... it's not Iran or China. It's the US military, they are just not telling us. They are flying near military bases and anything from China or Iran would be shot down at lightning speed.

    You mean like that spy balloon was?

    And I do think you are right on it being US military.

    The person that designed a drone that can fly across an ocean deserves the Nobel

    It is just regular aviation traffic. The population is getting dumber and dumber every year, sigh.

    We’ve already tried talking to them. This seems like a real problem …

    Nah, Iranian mother ship launching them. Haven't you been keeping up with this month's Conspiracy Theory Digest?

    Some of the videos I have seen look a lot like planes ln a pattern for landing at a nearby airport. Every moving light in the sky isn't a drone.

    Going on all over - even in this backwoods dinky town. Preppers here agree - they are convinced the big one is about to go down and its either Iranians or Chinese, maybe Chinese-Iranians. They have re-doubled their catalytic converters for sudafed efforts in response.

    Seriously, do you think the Iranians or the Chinese would have lights on drones that they are using for spying?
