Drones are in the news in the US. The drone show in Mansfield Texas has set a Guinnes World Record with the largest aerial display of a gingerbread village made out of drones. The show used 4,981 drones.
Who owns this many drones? A drone company named Sky Elements Drones. That show isHERE.
Here's one of the amazing scenes in the sky.
There's a drone story of he opposite sort. The story comes from the east coast in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania with hundreds of drones flying the skies at night. Concern and confusion with calls for military intervention.
This all started around November 18th - so a month of drones would be very wearying. Military intervention is not so easy, is it? Remember the big white balloon floating over North America? Shooting down aircraft is a felony and a security threat. And who owns the security of the skies? It isn't the local police, but federal authorities. Who can fly a drone? A licensed pilot only - not the public. How many can a pilot maneuver at once? Somewhere between 30 and 100 drones at once.
Everyone is involved - the military, the FBI, the state governors demanding action. Local police do not have any sky authority, so not allowed to do anything.
More than 5,000 reported drone sightings have come in. They are now installing advanced detection technology and have sent trained visual observers. Especially not knowing a motivation. And some aren't small - sedan-sized.
Most of us can't imagine a "prank' going on this long and being this costly. I don't know how Santa is going to navigate over that airspace.
This ice image is from a few years ago - nothing so far in the freezing rain category. Maybe today - we're supposed to get rain/snow.
