We're getting NOTHING from the govt & these are NOT "hobbyists". This shit has gone on FAR too long with no answers.
Someone with a 12ga w/00 buckshot is gonna take one out & THEN we'll see what they are.

We've had drones over military (restricted) areas. We've had them over nuclear facilities. Etc. And NOTHING done to either stop it or identify it. Yet there HAS been a Chinese national arrested for doing just this type thing. Gee, maybe THATS a f'ing CLUE??
