Doesn't it say

In very small letters.

While I’m not surprised technology is getting us to the point of this being possible, the first image is a fake. It was created on Deviant Art as part of a contest about five years ago. It has been all over the internet with various captions for different stories.

Some swamp gas sniffers think a UFO must be between 2 miles wide and 8 feet wide....When I guess it would be possible for alien spacecraft to be the size of a grain of sand, capable of holding thousands of aliens which could be setting up bases under the patio table.

They are not all as small as skeets. I’m going after the ones the size of a backpack.

By the way you can go online and get the instructions to build a small EMP gun that will disable these drones. I would say that might be the answer to the skeet sized ones.

Hmmm. This could be a useful tool for us. Let’s see, what do we want to know or get a photo of?

Ordinary people will have drones.... just consider the possibilities.

They already do. The AR Drone can be controlled by an Android smartphone or programmed with a path using GPS and has a HD video and still camera. It is pretty cool and the best part is they run about $300.

I've been tempted to get one myself.

Curious how these are controlled - I assume by radio.

Wonder if a simple spark generator could spew out enough wide band rf interference to render them control-less.

...Also appearing in science fiction is digital money which cannot be traced,

You might want to research Bit-Coin. The attempt has started and the FBI is spooked.

Think I’ll cover my entire metal roof with magnetic paint in anticipation of drone fly-bys.
Then I’ll just have to go up there once a month to scrape them off.

Ok, so you detonate the emp device and deactivate the ones in your backyard at 9:00am. What about the ones that fly in at 10:00am? And 11:00am? Do you just periodically activate the emp device? What about your own electronics. And your neighbors. What would the power company say about your doing this?

What stops the drone makers from hardening the little buggers against EMP? Then what?

How do you stop the undetected ones in public places? Like the store, the gas station, while you’re picking up dog food at the co-op?

The backpack ones won’t look like drones either. They will (and most likely already do, in fact) look like birds of some sort. Are blackbirds and crows going to be endangered species?

What happens when the crazy sex offender over the hill gets these? Or the gang bangers scoping for good houses to hit? Intel from these won’t be limited to the official government orgs. The gang bangers could use the smaller ones to deliver explosives or just knockout gas.

For an exercise, go read smokinggun sometimes. Then imagine all these people had drones. And that’s just the plain old crazies. Wait till the Zetas get them. And the crips and bloods. And MS-13.

And there are plenty of elites who would LOVE (Bill Gates, i’m talking about you!) to eliminate about half of the humans currently alive. Easily done with this tech. Anonymously too.

This tech will change human relations in a way that’s never happened. This is even bigger than using black powder to hurl objects over the next hill. That was hardly anonymous.

You won’t have any idea who or what is happening on your own property. Or even in your own home.

Not sure about those STINK BUGS. Does anyone ever remember such a huge infestation of these critters in the past? It’s not as if they’re 14-yr locusts.

Oh, and about those locusts;)

It will only take one crazy with a weaponized microbe and there won’t be very many people in *any* republic at all. Don’t think the elites haven’t been drooling over this possibility for the past 100 years or more. And their families will have been innoculated against the weaponized microbe. Yours? not so much with that protection.

A lot of truth there.

You know there are the extreme wealthy in lofty places, who'd love to eliminate most of the worlds population.

They no doubt they see most people in modern day planet earth as a burden, who use way too many resources, are difficult to control and are a direct threat to those living in those lofty places.

They would love to see the carbon footprint dramatically reduced. And since they've looted most things like Social Security etc, it would be much easier to deal with when just a few unwashed peons take to the streets.

“Also appearing in science fiction is digital money which cannot be traced, cannot be taxed.”

It is not science fiction.

For all the gun control rhetoric going around these days, these make guns completely obsolete. In pretty much all ways. No more anonymously picking off old steve up the road (with a gun) because you just plain don’t like him. That would involve going somewhere near old steve and plugging him yourself. You could just program his facial recognition information into a ‘hit man’ drone and wait.

He will have few defenses against this attack.

Likewise, if the elites want to take you out with this tech, your own guns will be useless. Do you plan to shoot every bird or mosquito cloud on your property?

Who needs billions of dollars worth of weaponry if you can have these?

Conversely, I am sure that there will be a low-tech means devised to defeat these flying robots.

Listen to your mother.

Don’t kill the lizards.

Lizards are your friends.

I wonder what the birds are going to think of these little drones ? I can just see birds and bats knocking these things out of the sky. Time to get a falcon-lol.
