Drone? You can't tell how far away something is, or how fast it's going, if you don't know how big it is. If it's smaller than you think, it could be much closer than you think, and changes of velocity would appear greater.

Even if there *are* 'aliens', there is absolutely no reason to believe that they are any brighter than we are, and no reason to think that they are any more likely to have discovered a way to [easily] traverse the immense distances of intra- or extra-galactic space...and if there *were* aliens around that were smarter than us, they'd either stay the hell waway from us or exterminate us.
you ever get a head on look at james Carville?? I think the aliens are breeding with us already!

I completely agree. But I would point out that the 21st century human race does not yet have all the laws of physics figured out yet. We've only scratched the surface of a very old, very complex cosmos.

It's fair to say that a LOT of "UFOs" are government research projects being tested. Think of something like the SR-71 Blackbird, a spy plane that could go at least three times the speed of sound. Unlike the U-2, it was never shot down despite hundreds, perhaps thousands, of missions over the Soviet Union and China. When SAMs were fired at it, the pilot simply hit the gas and outran them. Yet the SR-71 was designed in the 1950s, originally as a high-altitude fighter to intercept Soviet bombers, and built in the early 1960s.

Just try to imagine what has been designed and built in the half-century since. It's safe to say that whatever "new" technology is allowed to become public knowledge -- think stealth aircraft or the recent revelations that the NSA can use facial recognition technology from satellites in space -- the black agencies and military already have something at least an order of magnitude beyond it.

Facial recognition from space? Oh yeah. When I was in the Air Force at Offutt AFB in Nebraska -- Strategic Air Command headquarters -- the photo recon outfit on base had a trophy wall of photos from nude beaches in Europe. The detail was amazing! And that was in the mid-1970s.

Don't be ridiculous. We all know the Blackbird was actually built by Charles Xavier in Westchester, New York for his X-Men.

And now we know the real driving impetus behind technology.
