Traffic drones?
« on: December 21, 2018, 09:02:55 pm »
While driving up the highway, I saw a white drone with cameras.  This drone looked like a helicopter.  I estimate the drone was less than 300 feet above the street.  The drone may have been 6 feet in length, maybe a bit longer.  It has been suggested to me that this was a private drone.  Maybe.

Anyone else seen anything like this?

Nothing like that that I've seen.  Just the hobbyist quadcopters.
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

I hope I don't receive an invite to the policemen's ball in the mail.  I'm not sure how fast I was going, because my speedo is incorrect.  However, whatever my speed was, I later drove by at least 6 parked highway patrol cars, and nothing happened.

Use 20 gauge w/salt shot, followed by a good barrel cleaning.
You can't fix stupid but, you can adjust it with a 2x4.

A short-range, directed EM pulse works wonders.
