” Maybe to gauge how stealthy or noticeable they are over civilian populations. “

They seems to have flunked the stealth test by including bright lights on some of them.

“Drug cartels.”

Mapping out farm land in ne Colorado by flying laborious circuit patterns every night for weeks? Must be planning some really huge cannabis operations. Has anyone checked to see if they applied for growing permits yet? /s

“federal representatives advised local officials that it is a violation of federal law to shoot at an aircraft”

Dear Feds, screw you.

“Drug cartels.”

Flying drones in formation over Colorado and Nebraska? In the middle of nowhere?

I was thinking more along the lines of making deliveries or scouting routes. I may have missed it in the article, but I don’t recall any mention of the size of the drones. Some drones are large enough to carry “packages;” hell, isn’t Amazon making deliveries via drone now, or Fed Ex, or UPS?

I answered the question in another post. It is just speculation.

The full article at The Drive gives several estimates of size. Worth reading. I haven’t been to the comment section yet but those generally worthwhile as well.

Sounds like one of those federal laws that wants local nullification.

Like immigration law, the controlled substance acts, etc...

Yeah, but I wasn’t going to read all 200 pages.

Described as totally silent in the article. But seems like I did hear a report at the time of drone-like noise(?).

To get any appreciable range out of drones they must be large enough to carry a fuel source or an impressive battery bank which would make them large. Doubt these are all predator type drones or amazon delivery level drones flying way out in the country. A fuel driven drone would emit way more than a 'drone like' prop whir. Maybe musk got tired of playing with cars batteries and switched to drones.

Without knowing where the drones came from or where they went, it is impossible to guess the duration of their flight or their potential range.

They have the anti-gravity drive that helps a lot.

More seriously, It says in the article that DJI offered to help with the investigation onsite. I know FCC was involved in radio frequency analysis, and a FLIR-equipped aircraft (probably RADAR, too) was used. No headway on any good explanation. Then the sightings just stopped.
