Has anyone made the connection to Grover’s Mill and Orson Wells yet?

The only difference is those events were announced as theatre. These are being played off as reality.

I have a few friends who use them for their businesses, have watched their videos, flying in the local air space.
That is the extent of my knowledge, I rely heavily on Seahawk, because of his expertise, extreme knowledge and experience in this area before I can formulate any kind of opinion.

Oh fer ****s sake.

If its a Chinese espionage op, they wouldn’t use nav lights and they wouldn’t need dozens or hundreds of drone runs for weeks.

If its a US govt survelliance op, same and anyway good luck boys, hope you catch the thing or person you’re looking for.

If its aliens, they’re pretty lame to be using drones, I guess their tech isn’t that far beyond ours.

If its mass hysteria . . . well, then I DGAF.

I think people have just imagined there being drones, and it didn't happen at all.

This is starting to get interesting.
May be 2 types of drones.
One conventional (ours) and an orb (theirs).
Ours are investigating theirs.
Theirs is next level tech.

I'm surprised some enterprising influencer hasn't sent a drone up to the drones to record them. They would make a lot of $ posting any video.

IF (big if) there are otherworldly “Ezekiel’s wheel” orbs out there floating around, I find it hard to believe we would be sending a quadcopter to inspect them.

That would actually be a really good idea.

According to ABC, it looks like the FAA just put up a bunch of NOTAM's restricting drone activity in various places over NJ. The NOTAM's around the military bases from November are still up. Take a look at skyvector.com and you'll see where they are posted - the coverage isn't as broad as the news article made it out to be

Many have tried and report that as they get in the vicinity, their drones die and fall to earth. This despite having verified 100% battery charge, etc….assuming what they post can be believed. I’ve seen several such reports on X. Who knows?

I don't think it's an alien invasion.
I think it's advanced secret tech that some cabal is using to show the incoming admin what's up.

And if you shoot down one of their drones, the can be very very angry.

Sure he did. He sees every movie that comes out, it would seem.

A great little documentary, that was.

I heard that used as an excuse for the feds not coming clean, worried about people panicking.
