OT: Mystery drones across Nebraska

[itseasyas1-2-3]

Let's see.. When you can buy the American made washer and dryer or the Chinese made washer and dryer for the same price, most people know what the right answer is... then multiply that across many products and industries. We could have a skyrocketing economy after the effects of the disruption are over.

Yep, prices have nowhere to go but up.

I'm guessing some of these NJ drones, at least the "large ones", belong to people who have more money than sense. I find it hard to believe that these are the size of a small vehicle, though.

I saw two drones over Lincoln back in 2020 when we had all of those original sightings. They were far enough away I couldn't hear any sound from them, and I would have expected them to be about 6' across although I'm no expert on such things. I think that's still in the hobbyist class of drones.

I don't believe the powers that be would allow hobbyist drones to hover over some of the places they have been sighted. We either can't bring them down or don't want to.

The drone sightings seem to be concentrated over areas which in fact have sensitive military or national defense facilities. We're naive to think it's anything other than a bad actor seeking detailed information and testing or ability to detect and destroy drones. First it was balloons. Now its drones.

I know a guy in my area with two large ag drones. He sprayed 9,000 acres with them this year.

It's wild. I think a lot of people still think of drones as the little things an 8 year old flys. People are using them for all kinds of cool applications.

If he can fly them over military installations unchecked, we have another problem.

I get what you are saying, but why are they not being shot down? The Iranians were able to hack and land one of our high end drones 10ish years ago. We can't do that? Drones have been an issue for years and we have ways of dealing with them. Why are they not being dealt with in this case?

I agree, with respect to dingle, he has a simplistic view of the reality.

Well, he is probably a normal person, where I am some weirdo that has spent too much time thinking about the topic.
