Back to the drones-- If they are appearing regularly in time & place, it should be easy to follow them with other drones or a manned helicopter back to their base. Mystery quickly solved, if they want to solve it. It would be pretty scary to think our natl defense is so inept not be able to get the bottom of this in a timely fashion. What if those were bogey men?

The question is if helicopters can follow them at night? The Saudis thought their oil wells were safe and they have bought billions of our defensive and offensive weapons. I would just like to hear if these drones show up on radar? It might be possible that they do not and can run dark making them hard to spot or follow? But I don't know. I am sure we are working on the problem.
Of course there is the chance that the drones collected all the information they wanted from that given area and will not be deployed again until they have another 'mission' in another State. Hit and run would make them even harder to find. By the time we get the right equipment in place to track; they are gone.

Go to that FB group I linked, they fly every night at the same time. People are seeing what looks like black government vans watching them

I did and did you spot that possible explanation about a third of the way down that link? The posted gave this link: https://gazette.com/military/could-m...sRXdj_Vq33yZDQ which provides a very rational explanation for these sightings. I quote: "Air Force Global Strike Command, which is based in Louisana, has confirmed that it conducts counterdrone exercises out of F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, where it is based."
I am now curious if these sightings first started after the Saudi oil well attack?

It could be because of tensions between the US and Iran? I don't know; but be careful of that link.

I'm also reading that public FB group, they're saying when these drones are flying, it's jammed their wifi so that their devices aren't connecting. Someone posted a screen shot showing it.
The drones are now showing up in Nebraska.
It's sounding like it's the government doing something because otherwise the military would have started to catch these drones.
Apparently some are now seeing black vans driving around that they feel are connected to the drones.
The person manning the drones has to have a special waver to fly at night, apparently they don't have many that have the waver.

Thanks for the link. With all the military applications of drones seeing a group of them would definitely be concerning. You would think there would be a public announcement to keep people from panicking or shooting at them.
