WASHINGTON — Vanessa Alarcon saw them while working at an anti-war rally in Lafayette Square last month.
"I heard someone say, 'Oh my god, look at those,' " the college senior from New York recalled. "I look up, and I'm like, 'What the hell is that?' They looked kind of like dragonflies or little helicopters. But I mean, those are not insects."
Out in the crowd, Bernard Crane saw them, too.
"I'd never seen anything like it in my life," the Washington lawyer said. "They were large for dragonflies. I thought, 'Is that mechanical, or is that alive?' "
That is just one of the questions hovering over a handful of similar sightings at political events in Washington and New York. Some suspect the insectlike drones are high-tech surveillance tools, perhaps deployed by the Department of Homeland Security.
Others think they are, well, dragonflies — an ancient order of insects that even biologists concede look about as robotic as a living creature can look.

Dummies smelling more potential voters.
Shhhh! They might be listening!!
What could possibly make these people think they are so important that the government would spy on them with micro robots?
Way too funny.
We must prepare an offering for them! :-)

I just wish we could get this out to all the earthy crunchy types. Perhaps send them a little pot as well, just to ratchet the paranoia levels up a little bit higher...:)
Being a college senior is far, far too young to learn to speak the English language.
Gnatzis, I hate Gnatzis.
Revelation 9
3And out of the smoke locusts came down upon the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth. 4They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5They were not given power to kill them, but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6During those days men will seek death, but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.
7The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces. 8Their hair was like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth. 9They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. 10They had tails and stings like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months. 11They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon.[a]
I am not kidding.
I'm not representing the operation of micro-UAV's as treachery, and I actually love UAV's and non-lethal weapons.
But it should not be lost on you that YOUR government is more comfortable trying out new defense-related technology on YOU than it is on TERRORISTS.
Weird, huh? But that's true.
Here you go. Adjust the tin foil hat a little tighter.

Hillary’s army?
I talked to a guy years ago who was working for the govt trying to develop flying spy drones about the size of a baseball.
So here's a question for the author of the article: If you can't be bothered to use core terms of political discource correctly, why should anyone pay any attention to anything you have to say on the subject?
