"BREAKING: Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has an update on the drones directly from President Trump, saying they were "authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons. Many of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational, and private individuals that enjoy flying drones. In time, it got worse due to curiosity. This was not the enemy.""
OK, not aliens or the Russians or Iran.

Joe Rogan worried about radiation sniffer drones and govt keeping it quiet to avoid panic.
White House says not a threat. Kinda like the balloons that didn’t exist.

Man arrested, pled guilty and now ordered to take classes in Florida to make his criminal record go away.
Fired his 9mm pistol at a drone hovering at 75 ft in front of his home. Hit it causing more than $1000 damage. Owned by Walmart. Testing drone delivery.
Talked to police. “ well I must be a good shot”
Told police “ I can’t breathe “ when hand cuffed.
Now that his criminal case is finished, I would be filing a big civil suit against Walmart. Didn’t notify affected neighbors of planned experiment in their area. I’m sure lawyers have all ready contacted him. Much better chance of a big check, than father of NYC subway guy who harassed riders and died. Father abandoned him at two and hidden seen him in years.

Re: Drones
I have two $100 drones. They are hard to control, easy to lose.Soccerdad1995 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2020 5:20 pm It should be legal, IMHO, as long as your rounds do not travel past your property line (including missed shots). But I'll rely on the advice of others here that it is apparently illegal.
On another note, and at the risk of thread drift, I've been interested in getting into drones since the technology seems to have improved quite a bit. Can anyone point me to a good resource to learn more about beginner drones?
A friend has a $1000 drone Mavic, I think. You program where you want them to go on your phone, and they do it. But if you lose contact by radio they are still gone. Video tends to be kind of robotic looking. But the advances in the last few years are amazing. They sell them at Best Buy now, so you can see them and compare features.

Previously unreported swarm of drones flew over the nations largest nuke power plant in Arizona.
Proof of concept test by a foreign power. Practice run by the same. Or a hobbyist with a lot of money and time playing in places he shouldn't be.
At night so they probably were not doing it for photographs.
Very inexpensive way to cause a lot of trouble real quick.
