This is the kind of behavior that ruins it for the rest of the responsible pilots out there. I can already see the FAA/Congress pushing and approving this ID regulation sooner rather than later.


Article stated "wingspans of up to 6 feet"...What?


Also stated "He estimated that up to 30 drones were flying each night? What? 30 ? come on now, this sounds like a Sci-Fi movie.




Thoughts on the article?

I saw another article on this on CNN,  it stated that the drones were flying legally and it was just freaking out the residents.

Kids pranking.  Or company with a government contract, testing their work.

First I thought it was farmers maybe scanning their crops but at night?  unlikely the case.  Some areas of the article I just think writer is probably exaggerating the findings.

" Some areas of the article I just think writer is probably exaggerating the findings."

You think so? The news media has written complete BS about drones ever since they first appeared, why shouldn't this be more of the same. No evidence offered in the article, just lots of ignorant speculation.

I've also come to the same conclusion.  The FAA here in the USA will only become stricter with all these reported complaints.
