Spooky “drones” over NJ

Not sure why he says unequivocally they are from Iran then later says if they’re from hobbyists. If you don’t know yet, WTF are you doing floating the Iran thing?
I saw the Van Drew bit. Occam’s razor and all that.

Three possible options:

1. Hobbyists/civilians/whatever. Seems too expensive and would involve too many people, some who likely wouldn’t be able to keep their mouths shut.

2. U.S. military experiments/training. This has some possibilities.

3. A foreign entity or entities (Iran and China?) with a controlling “mothership” (an unfortunate term likely to engage the conspiracy folks) in international waters.

In order, and if I had to put odds on the options, I’d say, respectively, 5%, 35% and 60%. Would the military really test over such populated areas?

If the latter of the three options, blast the drones from the sky.

What's the over/under on how long those things would stay airborne if they tried that near Crane...

I'm taking the under (minus whatever amount of time it takes to get the 30-06 out of the case, loaded, and tracking for Billy Bob and friends)...

A probable Indianapolis TV station taped interview the next day would go something like this:
"It sounded like the Fourth of July", said one anonymous source..., "We just figured it was some good ol' boys having a couple of beers too many around the fire pit until we found close to fifty drones crashed throughout our south pasture...

😉😎 "Merica" 🇺🇸

You forgot to include extraterrestrials.

It is pretty amazing that in America, no one stepped outside with a rifle and shot one down.

@Joe_Hoopsier, get your ass up here.

The two of us are heading over to Jersey tonight and we're going to catch one of these bad boys. Gonna need some guns, a big net, and lots and lots of duct tape.

@hookyIU1990, you want in?

Enhanced Potato Guns are the obvious solution... Triple wrap them in duct tape to somewhat mitigate probable explosive disintegration, double charge them and place four of them in a corners of a square array then anchor the ends of a light fishing net with baseballs tied into each corner and rammed into the PG... Wait for the next drone to fly over and presto: foiled drone rotors... Hillbilly tech triumphs over all... 😎

Now the above wouldn't work for a couple of reasons (mainly because I don't want a visit from the ATF & the FBI) but I thought it'd make for an entertaining story (if you can bring yourself to just sort of ignore the unworkable parts😉)...

In real life if half my former team hadn't moved on to the Great Hereafter already (with myself and the other guy more than halfway there) we'd have solved this problem two weeks ago...😉🍺🍺🍺 (and probably still be in jail but it might have been worth it just to be able to eventually repeat the story)...🍺🇺🇸

Based on "Twitter Twits", I'm gonna assume these are US created "nuke sniffers" that we don't know about, based on a dirty bomb/small nuke threat we don't know about...

for now at least.


If that's the case what were they attempting to sniff out on 47 foot Coast Guard cutter, or at Andrews Air Force Base last month or at an Air Force Base in Great Britain...?

Which brings us back to the Coast Guard Cutter... Now I can understand the potential threat to public safety argument for not shooting one down over populated areas inland but why in the world wouldn't the Coast Guard be released to go kinetic on these things over open f--/-ng water?

Most of those 47 footers have up to (4) M2 Browning .50 caliber Machine Guns on deck... Has the Coast Guard become so "woke" that they won't fire on these things... What if that surveillance is being done to sell to drug cartels or nations hoping to infiltrate our beaches for nefarious reasons wouldn't this sort of thing be considered a threat to the current or future operations of the vessel?!?

I miss the old days where if you flew over an Air Force Base they'd either force you down and jail you or shoot you down if you didn't respond...

I remember the Good Ol' Days when Men were Men and Women weren't...

What a bunch of pussies our Homeland Security and DOD leadership have become... The Trump appointees can't take office soon enough!

Stop with this. I’m nearing the end of season one of the 2019 version of War of the Worlds. It’s not encouraging for us.

It has to be our military. @DANC is there any way you can reach out to any of your guys?
