I AM FOOT FOOT Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 5 hours ago, commando said: not sure how tough those things are....would a 12 gauge with a pheasant load be enough to hurt them at 150 feet up? A 10 gauge with tungsten or bismuth would be the choice, lead 10s are hard to find! I'm in no way recommending shooting a drone by the way! Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 Well.... federal authorities and local law enforcement are having a meeting on Monday to try to figure it out. Whomever is doing this is going to get one hell of a lot of negative backlash. Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 Ok...I’m starting to find this troubling that the Federal Government claims It’s none of their agencies but, yet they seem to be having a nonchalant/hohum attitude towards it. Just to remind everyone, we do have nuclear warheads not that far away. 2 1 Link to comment
NM11046 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 THANK YOU BRB. On the east coast this has become a "how silly that the people in the midwest think this is something to be worried about - why is it in the news?" Nuclear Command Bunker is in Dix, which sounds to be exactly where they are flying these. And also - isn't one of the bunkers for POTUS and others in a time of crisis in NE as well? Lots of reasons to be snooping around. Link to comment

They got too close to a missile site and a chopper comes in, picks them up, takes them to Cheyenne and asks them what they are doing so close to there at night with weapons 1 Link to comment

I don't think you'd program something like that to fly out of direct sight. No, you can easily buy an autopilot that can fly autonomously. UAV autopilots have been available for over a decade now. Just do a google search for small UAV autopilot and you'll find dozens of companies selling them. Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 Link Quote DENVER -- Law enforcement plan to hold a closed-door meeting in Yuma County Monday to discuss mysterious drone sightings plaguing eastern Colorado. In the past few weeks, dozens of people from Weld to Yuma counties have reported large clusters of drones hovering or flying in formation. On Saturday night, a FOX31 viewer captured video of one of 30 reported drones flying east to west over Kiowa. An expert tells the Problem Solvers the drones may be more than 8 feet across and cost $100,000 to assemble. Sheriff's offices in eastern Colorado, the FBI, the FAA and politicians are now involved in tracking down these drones. Two storm chasers are monitoring the sky above the eastern plains, hoping to help verify drone sightings and aid in the investigation. So far, no one has come forward claiming responsibility. On Monday, law enforcement will meet in private to layout all the information known about the mysterious drone sightings in hopes of tracking down answers behind the drones. So....someone has possibly spent over $3,000,000 on drones flying over Colorado and Nebraska.....and the Feds don't know anything about it? Link to comment
