Subject: Re: Drone operations over people
“Well, we found some drones. Or more accurately, they found us.”

Most accurately, they were making shit up. Or seeing what they wanted to see.

12 to 30 drones? You can't do better than that? That's an awfully big spread. If you're looking for drones, you might be inclined to start counting them at some point.

And where exactly were you? Light drones have a limited range - maybe up to 5 miles or so. And you're sitting in a well stocked Coast Guard vessel. Certainly it has radar. If you're more than 5 miles off shore, the drone operator needs to be on a boat. Wouldn't that show up on your radar?

Of course the Feds shrugged off this nonsense account. If it was a long string of "drones" they saw - one after the other following roughly the same route - they were looking at airplanes crossing the Atlantic. Those planes follow prescribed paths across the ocean to stay organized and keep from running into each other out over the ocean.
