Are you talking about on your property? Are they flying around checking you out?
Are you sure it isn’t hunter looking for deer?
I’ve found that if I ignore them they eventually go away.
Nope.
fyi......:)
Yes. They aren’t government drones though they’re alien drones.
If they are following me on my daily trips to Walmart and Lowes, they are wasting a lot of money.
No, but I’m helping design a new SatCom antenna for Predator domestic surveillance. You probably wouldn’t see the Predator though.
free target practice yo!
Had your coffee yet?
Every year around April 15.
How do you know they’re govt. drones? Could be your neighbor just wanting to watch you undress thru your bedroom window. I don’t think the govt. really cares what you look like naked......
They are going to probe you real good.
gimmie a hint
what is a USAV??
You won’t see the government ones. Hobbyists drones, over your property, just mean you live near people who don’t give a rip about others.
Um, unless that’s your local Sheriff’s office or the popo, I doubt they’re Gov drones. Definitely not federal/military. Google search ‘Intelligence Oversight’ - we’re not allowed to take ANY domestic imagery of USPERs without SecDef approval - that includes if the Sheriff or local LE asks to borrow a drone for Search n Rescue for lost kids/hikers or anything. Can’t do that.
I would guess it’s one of your neighbors just playing with his new toy, getting cool shots of the landscape, or just flying around for fun.
There are plenty of other drone users out there, between hunters scouting game or nosy neighbors, and government surveillance entities: news outlets, TV and film producers, private surveyors, agriculture/forestry management outfits, mining firms, weather forecasters, safety & security monitors, wildland firefighters, mountain-rescue organizations - just to name a few. Many are private companies.
We live in the rural hinterlands of western South Dakota, and connect to the power grid via a rural electrical cooperative. Our coop maintains miles and miles of powerline, which must be monitored for breaks and incipient hazards to line integrity: broken branches, fallen trees and the like. It’s a lot cheaper - and quicker - to eyeball power lines remotely, through a camera on a small drone. Line-checkers who traveling by truck, or on foot (sometimes by snowshoe), cost the coop a lot more, and take much longer to do the job.
Personal safety risks to line-checkers are thus lowered too: drones don’t sprain their ankles stomping about the wilderness; neither do they fall off cliffs nor tumble into ravines. Even if a drone cracks up, the financial loss is smaller than if humans were to get injured or (worse) killed on the job. To say nothing of losses in human terms: if a drone get smashed to bits, families don’t grieve.
