Is there a drone in your neighbourhood? Rise of spy planes exposed after FAA is forced to reveal 63 launch sites across U.S.

Unmanned spy planes are being launched from locations in 20 states and owners include the military and universities.

There are at least 63 active drone sites around the U.S, federal authorities have been forced to reveal following a landmark Freedom of Information lawsuit.

The unmanned planes – some of which may have been designed to kill terror suspects – are being launched from locations in 20 states.

Most of the active drones are deployed from military installations, enforcement agencies and border patrol teams, according to the Federal Aviation Authority.

A clear violation of Posse Comitatus.

The only one in New England appears to be just over my home in CT. Is there a link for the actual locations and who’s running the launch sites?

Note that this information comes to us via the UK press.

It is officially time to evacuate the United States of America. I am doing all I can to get out, now.

Nothing your father's light sabre can't handle.

Add a pressure switch, stock and scope and you've got fun, fun, fun. More range than a 12-guage, too.

“Federal Aviation Authority”

Any article that doesn’t get that simple name right is suspect as being from kooks.

The map shows 2 over Austin and 1 over San Marcos.

Someone is really curious about the happenings in Central Texas.

Thanks. The article actually highlights the only site in New England as belonging to the University of Connecticut which is about 20 miles from where I live. The Daily Mail asks the same question I ask; why would UCONN need a drone site? The CONNARNG is somewhat nearby at Bradley Airport. That seems a more logical site for defense purposes.

Imagine my surprise that there is no domestic coverage of this story. The Daily Mail comes through again.

Yeah I've started checking them daily because it seems they are breaking stories American News Outlets ignore.

Can you imagine MSNBC if this happened during Bush's Administration?

24/7 and they would bring back Keith Olbermann for a Special In Depth Show that aired every hour!
