Drones the size of small cars in our airspace since November 18th. The Pentagon says they don't know what they are or why they are here. But, reassures us the drones are not from one of our enemies, AKA Iran.
Okay, the official statement is our government doesn't know what they are, to whom they belong but not to worry, they are not from one of our enemies??? Excuse me but that is an insane, incongruitous statement.
We cannot shoot them down. There is a federal law against doing anything to any aircraft inflight. I know as, back in my youth, my rocket launching hobby near Lambert Field Airport had the FAA and the police on my uncle's property. We were apparently on the flight path for incoming commercial flights. Our homebuilt toy rockets were exceeding the 1,000 foot altitude limit. (by about 2,000 feet)
They were out there within days of our second launch. This was back in the late fifties early sixties. I was 13-14. Radar technologies were rudimentary compared to today. Anyways, it would seem after a week of unauthorized drone flights, our authorities would have a handle on the situation.
So how come after weeks of these sightings, according to the Feds, we know "nothing?"
