[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These videos I'm seeing are airplanes. I'm afraid someone is going to shoot down a plane.

Like this one from a Fox News person, it's NYC planes lining up for landing.

Sure, those don't look like drones at all.

Many of the other videos photos have been drones, though.

I think there is a real issue here that is being exacerbated by people reading about it in the news and then "seeing" drones. But I've seen enough video evidence of what are pretty obviously drones to believe that something is going on. There was also a drone that crashed in NJ neighborhood, but it turned out to be a hobby drone.

Increasingly I wonder if a hobbyist with large drones freaked some people out, it got reported in the news, more drone enthusiasts started doing weird stuff with their drones to see if they could get on the news, and it just built from there. I can easily see a group of drone enthusiasts in Maryland specifically deciding to fly drones near Larry Hogans house to see if they could freak him out and get him to say something about it, as a troll move.

I also think it's possible that there were some drones at some point that were military grade, likely part of a US project they wanted to keep secret, but that the proliferation of activity has been due to a snowball effect as people with hobby drones get in on it. And that the US government has happily encouraged the slight hysteria because as more of these are shown to be hobby drones or just manned aircraft, they can point to that and say "see, nothing to see here." And not have to reveal that they were testing some drone technology near a base in Jersey.[/quote]
