Maybe we'll have Festivus drone sightings tonight? _________________________________________________________________________ “A man’s treatment of a dog is no indication of the man’s nature, but his treatment of a cat is.

Video, pictures and more text in the link: Boy in hospital after drones fall from sky at Orlando holiday show CNN — What was intended to be a dazzling festive spectacle ended in injury to a 7-year-old boy after several drones unexpectedly fell from the sky during a show in Florida on Saturday night, according to CNN affiliate reports. Videos shared by spectators of the event at Orlando’s Lake Eola Park show dozens of lit-up drones flying in synchronization –– forming Christmas-themed shapes like swans, doves, Santa Claus and presents. | |||

Trump has said that the government knows what they are. When he becomes president, he will tell us clearly and authoritatively. Whatever they are, it will again show that the Soviet Union had nothing on the Biden regime. Like the Soviets, right from the day Biden took office to the very end, what he said he was doing was not what he was actually doing, and what he said he was not doing is what he was actually doing. The Soviets had Pravda. Biden had the main stream media. "Corruption" does not describe Biden's administration. We have been living through four years of evil. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

Are they just not covering this now, or have I missed new reports? I don't recall hearing anything new about the drones since last Friday. "If Gun Control worked, Chicago would look like Mayberry, not Thunderdome" - Cam Edwards | |||

I too have been wondering if the temporary drone ban has had an effect. | |||

Well, the drone sightings have dropped off a cliff since the New Jersey ban. Doesn't surprise me at all, but at the same time there is still the possibility of some sightings harder to explain. We still have Navy pilots videoing flying Tic-tacs. | |||

Gosh, what happened? Is the alien invasion/psy-op/MKUltra thingy postponed? It just kinda dropped right off the radar, huh? Isn't that something? I guess the trendiness wore off of this real damn quick. | |||

I see And all the press coverage and the chatter on social media- are those things cloaked, too? | |||

Aliens from outer space were fascinated with New Jersey? How did this happen? Did they manage to intercept satellite broadcasts of Jersey Shore and now they've become big fans, hoping to catch a glimpse of the cast? Will the ET's step off the saucers sporting big gold chains, tank tops and slicked-back hair? . | |||

I think people in New Jersey got tired of being portrayed as morons on the national news for not knowing the difference between an airplane, helicopter, planets, stars, whatever and a drone. Out of 5,000 reported sightings, 4,900 conclusively proved the person reporting was a moron. No conclusion was drawn about the remaining 100 sightings, so those people could still be morons. If the temporary bans prove anything, they prove that any prior actual drone sightings in those areas were operating within the law to begin with and that drone pilots are responsible, law abiding citizens just like those citizens with CWLs. The Chinese, Russians, Iranians, super secret Area 51 types, drug cartels, etc. wouldn’t just stop because the FAA said so. I’ve been trying to keep up with the story, but there’s been nothing new. | |||

But, you see, there were reported sightings all over this country, and I even read one report talking about this being a global phenomenon. This kind of stuff is indicative of some of the unattractive aspects of human nature; social trends rising to the level of manias, and the lemmings among us who drive such nonsense. My distaste for this kind of thing is why you see me, not infrequently, dousing social trends in this forum. | |||

Yeah, they were identified. /sarcasm off Thats why state governments were putting out"we dont know what they are, but they pose no danger", and why the FAA, you know the people that are supposed to know whats in the air, had to put special no fly zones up. I work near Picatinny Arsenal, people that i work with, live >1 mile from the base. They saw these "planes" hovering. The sound of a helicopter and electric drones are completely different. My co workers were close enough to hear them. And of course there are many 1/2 ton recreational drones. | |||

Again, it's remarkable how this dramatic story of the mysterious and threatening drones went from appearing every day in the news cycle, down to essentially nothing. | |||
