    Default First Drone I've Seen

    A drone few directly over my house today at 7:22 PM. I watched it as it turned north to land at Centennial Airport. They are a lot louder than I thought and have a very unique sound.

    Really? I work close to there what time did you see it at? I want to go see one out of curiosity.

    Gonna call BS on that one... Buckley would have been more plausible, but Centennial, doubt it.

    We have 3 here in Trinidad. We got to go see them with my daughters girl scout troup. They're not the big ones, about a 15' wing span. They let everyone get up close and personal with them. I'll post pictures later.

    It is probably the SHADOW. We call them the flying lawnmowers due to the sound.

    I live near Holloman AFB, where they are home to some MQ-1 (Predator) and MQ-9 (Reaper). I've seen them flying over the highway while driving to Las Cruces all the time, pretty sure they're doing vehicle surveillance training. They're definitely an awesome sight to see!
