WTH was that?

I read a news story today that said Denver and suburbs were deploying drones to catch "illegal fireworks displays" and other activity.

There were drones flying around Lakewood too.

It wouldn't surprise me. We crossed the line into a surveillance state years ago. Homo bureaucratis takes deep offense when John Q. Public does something they don't approve of, laws and constitutions be damned.

Quoted for truth.

I recently read somewhere that Colo Spr is using drones as well. With all of the other stuff Colo Spr has been doing to surveil it's citizens I wasn't the least surprised.

Orwell called this one accurately.

I was educated in George Orwell when we lived in the UK. My father served with the US Air Force. I went to school at RAF Feltwell. It is now a NSA base. It didn't have the big "golfball" antennas when I was there.. Animal Farm, 1984 were all required reading. I would love to live there again. Once AI gains a major foothold in our society it will truly be a "Black Mirror" world.

Too many Karen's on Nextdoor for me to go find the post, but here is one from reddit:

Definitely not the same deal, but thank you for the link.

There are also privately owned drones which fly dark.

95% probability it was a drone. Otherwise, "undetermined."

And just tonight, another one.

Flying dark, darker than the night sky, flying N-S over my backyard in Mountain View about 9 PM.

It looked like a triangular solid object, but when I shone my 1000 lumens flashlight on it almost looked like the three points were kind of reflective, but no light of its own.

My wife thought it was three separate objects flying in formation, but to me it looked more like a solid one.

It must have been flying relatively low, since I was able to follow it with the flashlight beam, but high enough that just a minor light reflected ( or maybe was painted in non reflective black).

Again, no sound whatsoever.


Aren't drones supposed to make SOME kind of noise?
