Another thing too: Aliens probably wouldn't have researched the CAA regulations for collision avoidance lights to put on their drones, and the Iranians or other bad guys wouldn't be lighting up their spy or Trump assassination drones like Christmas trees either, would they?

It's been reported that the emergency services have been ordered to use full haz-mat equipment to deal with any crashed drones. That might give you a clue to what's going on. They were first shown flying over military establishments to spread speculation about spies, aliens, etc., then they started flying over residential areas. If I was in charge of the project, I'd have done the same.
It is interesting that the vast majority of UFO sightings come from America where there is a cultural fascination with the idea of being visited by aliens and being probed with spindly fingers. I expect the drone sightings are equally oddly distributed too.

I Don know whether you're following the news, but large drones are being seen all over the East Side of USA. The security services have stated that they don't know what they are, but they're no risk and nothing to worry about; however, the emergency services have been told to use haz-mat equipment when dealing with any crashed ones.

UK 'doesn't have enough builders' for Labour's 1.5m homes

"Based on the government's plans, the estimated number of new workers required for some common trades, for example, would be:
  • 20,000 bricklayers
  • 2,400 plumbers
  • 8,000 carpenters
  • 3,200 plasterers
  • 20,000 groundworkers
  • 1,200 tilers
  • 2,400 electricians
  • 2,400 roofers
  • 480 engineers

If there really are big drones flying about off the air traffic control networks - ie - unknown to them, there will be a mass of stored radar data in the records of the ATC people. There is no excuse for authorities to say they have no idea what they are. Of course, you can buy quite large hobby drones for not that much money. Who knows what some over-rich teenager is flying around at night?

Americans are in general totally paranoid about supposedly nefarious intrusions. The fuss last year about balloons was ridiculous. Anybody who thinks that the Chinese - who have landed rovers on the moon and on Mars need to fly a giant and obvious spy balloon over the USA to obtain information is an idiot. That balloon - certainly Chinese was a lost weather or science balloon not a spying attempt. Anyone who thinks the Chinese state is that inept and that stupid is SERIOUSLY underestimating their capability. Balloons blow where the wind takes them. It was all bo llox. I know they actually shot down an amateur radio balloon costing less than a hundred quid with a missile costing millions. I know this because a known amateur radio balloon which had already made several circumnavigations of the planet disappeared off air in the location and at the time when they fired the missile. It was two mylar toy balloons filled with hydrogen and a tiny transmitter weighing about two grams with a a few tiny solar cells. It had been aloft for weeks


Here is the selling page of the guy who makes the 1.7 gram computer and radio transmitter for these balloons. I've had one of them and it was able to be received over a thousand miles from my house with an antenna strung out down my garden from my bedroom window. It died when I made an alteration with the tiny surface mount circuit and fked the frequency synthesizer chip.



Here is a video of the clever guy who designed the balloon tracker going through its capabilities. I have been dealing with Hans for about twelve years and have built many of his products.

It's not "if". The drones are there and have been filmed by thousands of people. There have been congressional hearings about them and they're all over the MSM, as you can see in the links provided. They're not something some kid is flying in his garden. They're the size of cars with full sets of CAA approved navigation lights. Something is going on. The only question is what? Why are they only flying at night? Many MSM commentators and politicians have suggested that they might be Iranian or UFOS, which is clearly misdirection and gets the old spider senses going, especially when emergency services are told to use haz-mat suits when dealing with them. All what I have said is verified fact. You have to figure out how to join the dots yourself. So far, you seemed to have missed the story. Do a bit of research, then come back with an explanation that makes sense.

You REALLY think the Iranians are flying huge drones about the United States and that the country that spends more on defence than the rest of the world put together is allowing them to do so and is incapable of finding out what is going on?

Really?

Read again what I wrote. I said that the Iranians or other bad guys wouldn't light up their spy drones like Christmas trees. The US politicians and MSM are suggesting the Iranians or aliens. I said that was misdirection.

Come on guys, let's have some theories about this. Watch the video, then comment:
there are easily 10 million+ drones in the USA. They have to be seen sometimes.
As long as they cause no disaster to people or pets, they are just toys.

There weren't any in the 1930s, since flight then and before was so limited, thus limiting what people could imagine they'd seen.

Now flight in various forms is so wide in scope that it enables minds to imagine all sorts of possibilities and impossibilities to explain partial sightings, especially in the hours of darkness.

Just ignore all these reports, we'll be back to crop circles once people get bored enough with drones.

Yes.

Sorry. I misread / half read the post because of careless distraction. Grandson came to go for a bike ride.

I blame Elon Musk or the Russians.


Musk is filling the skies with thousands of satellites a year, causing light trails and ruining ground based astronomy, and the Russians are doing their Maskirovka thing, and spreading misinformation, sabotage and panic among the gullible masses.

Either way, or any other way, drones appearing in the night sky of New Jersey and harming no one are no more than a curious talking point. Drones in Ukraine don't act like the New Jersey ones. Those ones are more obviously worrying.

"CAA NAV LIGHTS".. Online Store delivery drone test flights? If they crash, damage or injure or kill, and someone looks to claim, they can deny all involvement ?
Drug delivery drones , but they wouldn't advertise with lights?
Santa's little helpers getting dropzones ready? :cool:

The most common cause of UFO reports is the planet Venus. People see its bright disk, maybe through veiled cloud and imagine it is a craft from Planet Zog and that its occupants are here to abduct and probe them.

There may be some psycho-sexual element here: in medieval times, lots of people reported that they had been forced to have 'relations' with devil apparitions. Apparently, there were both male and female types of devils who visited people in the night. You can see the overlap with the probing thing. I doubt that people in Ukraine worry about any of this. They know which devils are visiting them and they know that the drones are loaded with military explosives.

Oops, the solar farm got wrecked by storm Darragh.
Fixed by 2025 or 2035? One guess as good as the other!
Oh, and the windmills got blown too..
How many others out of action?
Will EDF cut and run?
