This was filmed in Elgin, Illinois about 40 miles from Chicago. I assume it's for the NATO summit this week as a security measure.

If one ever crashes in my yard can I claim salvage?
Remember what Krauthammer said - the first American to shoot one down will be a folk hero!
INCOMING!
The people in our govt are nothing more than children playing with matches and they are going to burn the house down.
Why is it magically worse if it’s unmanned, instead of a police helicopter or a military Blackhawk?
People and their perceptions are strange.
NATO summit this week- burning leaves out of season next week...
The Bush war on terror created a slippery slope- I agree with enhanced targeting and surveillance of proven enemies; but it takes a very judicious government to walk that tightwire without infringing on the rest of us. We have no such assurance in place at present.

That’s what we get when ‘prom rejects’ get into power and want to ‘get back at humanity’ for their problems.
...any Air Bases near Elgin?
Oh I disagree. They know exactly what they are doing and are trying their best to provoke a fire.
..only if your muslim and have a chance to sell it to China
Because the drones carry thought control weapons stolen from the crashed alien spacecraft at Roswell, N.M. These weapons can also cause earthquakes when directed at a fault under a full moon.
Mascoutah, Illinois has Scott Air Force Base. Pretty Far away though.
More fun than skeet shooting.
Police helicopters don’t carry Hellfire missiles.
.
Wisconsin is close, maybe from there?
..maybe Odungo’s way of taking front pages all across the US ....can’t have people talking about his gay marriage stuff anymore, it’s sinking him
I thought this damn thing was after my chickens- buzzin’ all around and whatnot....
If you can outrun Federal SWAT, they'll be on their way seconds after it goes down.
I will not give anything away, so this is intentionally vague.
I live somewhere in the 6 County Chicago metro area. Today I saw CH-47 Chinook flybys. Twice. Never seen them before in this area. Not even during 9-11.
I plan to hunker down . . .
LOL!

NOPE!!!!
It was the Judge: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fNP51hZtVI
Judge Napolitano NOT Janet.....
Police helicopters don’t carry Hellfire missiles.
Remember their definition of Terrorists.

Please see post 24.
Wake up!
Police helicopters don’t carry Hellfire missiles.
Yet.
That was classified information, you will now be placed on the MIB hit list. Your only hope of not being assimilated into the Borg is a full body tin foil suit, that way they can’t find you by the electrical impulses given off by your nervous system. Then you will also need green coke bottle glasses to protect your eyes and so they can not access your brain via radio waves from your TV, radio, or an oncoming car. Good luck.....
What are the odds that there will be an Obamadrone over Tampa, say in August, 2012?
Yet.
You’re right.
The film is a fake.
Ummmmm, maybe because some drones are barely audible and take live, detailed video, have all kinds of eavesdropping equipment and can be transformed to weapons of war in mere minutes?
Because police/government could put up 20x the amount of inexpensive surveillance drones.
Just a wild guess.
I think that that particular drone can stay in the air 24 hours so that I don’t think that a close base is necessary.

“Wisconsin is close, maybe from there?”.......
Camp Douglas, Wi. Training ground for operating these critters. I see them regularly.
I though Judge Napalitano said it?
More likely Rockford, given azimuth; Scott is south. Mayor Daley kicked the US reserve units out of O’Hare, aviation elements relocated to Rockford.
I believe there is air natl guard at Ohare airport-
Social media is active with ever-evolving plans for pop-up demonstrations, but a lack of focus and light turnouts have kept events low key.
Here is Saturday’s timeline:
Saturday, May 19
Airspace restrictions begin around downtown Chicago, ending on Monday.
Road closings and pedestrian restrictions around McCormick Place go into effect, ending Monday at rush hour.
Parking restrictions go in effect around Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E Washington Street.
Metra Electric line begins skipping 5 stops. Passengers at all stops are subject to delays due to enhanced passenger screening.
Motorcades will bring dignitaries downtown from O’Hare International Airport, with rolling closures of Kennedy Expressway (I-90) and other major roadways. ...
killing scores of Americans (innocent Americans, I might add)?
There are no innocent americans- where have you been for the last 40 50 yrs/sarcasm
” If one ever crashes in my yard can I claim salvage? “
only if you can prove you assisted in its crashing
” Remember their definition of Terrorists. “
that would be anyone wanting to be a human
I agree.
Oddly enough it might be because we send unmanned drones into foreign countries to kill terrorists.
It is called a ‘chilling’ effect to then springboard off that psychological knowledge and terrorize your own people with unmanned drones that can potentially be armed to murder you.
Oh and PS:
What was that order not so long ago about being able to detain citizens indefinately ... I think it got signed Jan. 1st, 2012?
Because putting manned air assets are both expensive and visible, and targetable for that matter. Also, human crews can be up in the air for far less time. There is also the human decision and chain-of-command element that brings a certain accountability in one fashion or another.
Drones? Cheap, nearly invisible, can be built as small as a fly and be in the air for an indeterminate amount of time. Some pimply face geek with a joystick in Colorado can kill you in Massachusetts.
It’s going to come to a day when they won’t take you out with a hellfire missle, it’ll will just be some little fly-drone full of undetectable poison that alights and sticks you, and you’re dead. Build a swarm and you can take out any resistance in minutes.
You need to be afraid.
During NATO my guess would they'd be 'launched' from Midway Airport with an empty Hanger 'commandeered' as a Flight Control Center (Or just grabbed by The Rahmfather and given to the FedGov).
Note: Not that I advocate, advise or approve of what's recently been said about shooting these spy drones down -- but -- it shows why one 'may' need a long rifle in your Gun Locker. ARs, AKs, and Carbines are fine but when you need to 'reach out and touch someone something' a longer barreled rifle is req'd. A Rem 700 to an 'old' Mosin-Nagant, or 8mm Mauser (Yugo or German 98K) can be for more than Deer, Black Bear, or Elk. (just sayin')
A .50 Cal would be definite overkill :-)
Military flights for Packer game flyovers, etc. often originate in Madison, WI.
