The other part of the problem is complete lack of trust in what government says. While there may be 100% legitimate and non-threatening reasons for the activity, people just don’t trust the government when it says “Remain calm, all is well!”

There was a movie from the 30’s in which scammers traveled the country side releasing balloons in local communities. one of the scammers was a journalist.

My take on this is that most of the sightings are planes, stars, and other things but there are some sightings and videos that sure look like drones or something weird.

I have been checking the skies every night and haven't seen anything yet. But I did notice the local military installation was shining spotlights in the sky at night. I have never seen that coming from that site.

Exactly, as I stated the lack of transparency is fueling this. It is like someone telling you to calm down while they have a gun pointed at your head.

I think of DDS as more of a War of the worlds phenomena.

My daughter use dto live in rural Florida Panhandle, near the northside of Hurlburt Field/Eglin AFB, a known Drone Training base.

As I said, she lived way out in the country, and this is in Florida, so in the afternoons when our 3 year old grandson was taking his nap, she would go outside to soak up some sun and relax.

She eventually noticed that a drone A/C would appear shortly after wards and just hang around in plain sight. This continued for several days, and every day it appeared at the same exact time she did.

Being in rural Florida, bears area constant problem, and she had her .380 Special beside her at all times (She’s also CCW)

She raised her weapon and pointed it directly at the drone.

It immediately left and never came back..........................

"Drone Derangement Syndrome (DDS), refers to the IRRATIONAL and often heightened fear that drones are being used for surveillance, control, or even sinister political and military objectives."

How can you know it is irrational? Next you'll be joining the chorus saying Islamophobia is irrational.

Oh BS. Fear of intrusive govt surveillance is not paranoia. It is what the govt is doing.

These recent flurries of sightings are not mass hysteria or swamp gas. People are rightly concerned. The govt has again shown itself to be incompetent and incapable of action.

When the government says about the drones, "We know absolutely nothing about them. We don't know what they are, where they come from, or who is behind them"...
...but then says, "There does not appear to be a public safety risk associated with these drones."
You know there's a problem.

So asking questions and demanding answers is a Derangement Syndrome?
Just another way of silencing people.
What will happen if a private person shoots down a drone?
I'm sure FBI will be right there to put him in jail, those large drones are very expensive after all.

We are feeling left out here in North Idaho. Nobody wants to spy on us. Heck, nobody even knows about us.
