    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    So CPDS cannot personally witness things that people allege to have witnessed in the past, so they must be fabricated.

    Either that, or they can't find their dial to control the time-space continuum. Nobody will know until they find where bob put the "time-travel" dial.

    Oh and only 27 of over 700 drone sightings by pilots were confirmed to be near-misses, so the rest were all hysteria too, because drone manufacturer DJI said all the other ones were unconfirmed (and thus, must be hysteria, according to the journalist.).

    All - in all it ranks pretty high on click bait, bullshit journalism. 20 years ago the headline would've been "Mysterious drone sightings unconfirmed, remain a mystery..."

    These are not the drones you're looking for.

    If there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to buy a gun, there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to vote.

    For legal reasons, that's a joke.

    I suspect a .mil or .gov program, for the exact reason shown below...

    The Phillips County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday abruptly pulled back from a previous claim that authorities were looking for a "command vehicle" that might be controlling the drones witnesses have reported flying nighttime patterns in Colorado and Nebraska, saying in a Facebook post that the command vehicle information was no longer "pertinent or relevant."

    "The Phillips County Sheriff's Office is not the task force and our jurisdiction does not extend past Phillips County, Colorado," the statement said, before adding that the office would no longer be making public statements about the drone situation.

    I agree completely. There is no doubt there were plenty of false reports, especially after this went national news. There always are when thing go mainstream.

    But there were drones flying grids, no doubt about it.

    Although there were no reports of drones in the metro area, that's exactly why I started this thread. Because I saw three of them first hand immediately prior to this story hitting the news. What I saw over Lakewood was exactly what the initial reports described. They were low enough not to be mistaken. And my initial thought was they were .gov or mil. There is absolutely no private entity that could do this.

    I'm not sure about a command vehicle though. From what I saw I'm not sure one could have kept up with them. It'd have to be capable of a pretty significant stand off distance. But admittedly, I don't know enough about these sorts of drones to actually know much about what it take to fly them.

    As noted in the thread, I saw a single large unit above C-470 at Bandimere. Definitely not a chopper or plane, and way bigger than a hobby drone.
