Anyone ever heard anything about these?
Last night we were having a bonfire and 3 drones flew over our neighborhood, one after another about 1 minute apart. It was about 9:30 pm 20 miles outside of a major midwest city. Normally I would think someone simply got a nice drone using their stimulus, but there were 3, they were moving way faster than a typical hobbyist drone, all of them had one constant blue light and never circled back, just disappeared in the distance. These things were moving really fast, but we could still barely hear their rotors. I would compare their speed to lifeline helicopters that have flown over in the past.
There’s an army base probably 15 mi south, but idk. The base has plenty of mileage and controlled airspace for training, so it wouldn’t make sense for them to potentially loose one in a residential area.
So I did some generic searches on YouTube and appears to be a mix of hobby folks and others reporting similar sightings, but I guess the feds were called in to investigate after several people came forward saying the same thing. This was in Colorado though, years ago and I’ve not heard of a van like in those reports. My GF posted it on our neighborhood FB group to ask if anyone was flying a drone last night. I’ll let ya know if anyone reports back.
