I first learned about government research into swarms of autonomous UAVs in 2000-2001 when I was working on government optical communications projects. Here we are 20 years later and it is nearly operational reality.

The conjectured use of this new facility at Area 51 is fascinating.

Maybe. Unless it isn’t.

Just learning how to best stage, launch, and recover a large number of semi-autonomous jet-powered unmanned systems together will surely be a focus of any such program.

***************

A program to use on who exactly? We could be the intended targets. Just saying.

That’s the nature of “conjecture.”

Slightly off topic. I have seen all the episodes of Ancient Aliens (laugh, I don’t care. It’s amusing and entertaining when not pushing nonsense. No more fictional than all the news networks.)

A current season interviewee said “I don’t really know if the alleged space visitors are bad ones or good ones as people report about them. But I will say this: I have never seen a case of their helping and rescuing us at any point.”

(( Me: If they exist and arrive and are pro Dem then I give up.))

I wouldn't be surprised to find out they are way beyond drones at area 51.

The uncertainty of the effect of such a new weapon system will have a deterrent effect on China and other adversaries.

I've watched that a number of times...it's always fun to watch again. Thanks for the link.

Given all the rapid advances in facial (and other biometric) recognition, computing power, and miniaturization, can such things be far off? Experts have said that is pure fantasy, but I doubt it.

I'm sure you've watched the Black Mirror episode "Metalhead." That's another scary one...

Of course, have you ever seen BLMers, antifa, etc working at food banks or painting poor neighborhoods to actually make peoples' lives better?

My theory is that all aliens are BLM and antifa as they both like to blow things up, burn cities down, and kill people and police. I submit: have you ever seen Aliens and BLM/antifa at the same time?

Destruction of city buildings....

You are onto something. But if they really are extraterrestials trying to fit into our human activities, they would have bug eyes and pencil necks and be heard to spout off nonsensical things. Like AOC, Schiff, Strzok, Biden talking for two minutes without a telepromter....

Uh oh....

Which half is responsible for the cankles? And the droning schoolmarm monotone voice? And the weird staring eyes?

Do the aliens have a valid warranty in effect? Maybe a recall to Pluto.

Just another Sunday of fantasy to fill the void from kicking the NFL habit...

Maybe those buildings will be the ones hosting the ovens if Harris-Pelousy are in the WH...
Although Yucca Mountain is still available...

We need to stay alert for massive rail line construction to either facility... Or, instead, watch the NBA games...

OTOH, we need to get FR agents inside that spaceship built for Apple to see what that is really for... Maybe it will be used for building, testing, and storing UCAV’s...

I’m thinking they have nano swarms waiting to be released at this point!
