Have You Seen Any Drones?

I spend an average of two hours outside nearly every day, sometimes on local streets and others along trails and wooded areas. I see wildlife nearly every day, from deer to foxes and racoons. I've also been sprayed by skunks multiple times over the years, thanks to an inquisitive black lab who accompanies me when I'm on foot instead of on a bike. I see plenty of hawks and buzzards. I've even had too brief encounters with a bear. But I'm embarrassed to say I've never seen a bald eagle or a coyote, though I know they're out there. At night, I occasionally like to step outside to look at the stars or watch for northern lights on those rare occasions when they are in the forecast. I've never seen them. And unlike many local people on Facebook, I have yet to see a single drone in the sky at night. Like bald eagles and coyotes, I'm sure they are out there. But I've yet to see one flying in Nazareth airspace at night. Have you?

Red Cat CEO Jeff Thompson, whose company supplies sophisticated drone technology to the US Military, told ABC News that he doubts they come from our adversaries because they are using proper FAA lighting to display their presence, making it way too easy to shoot them down. He said they are too large to be consumer drones but it's not his company so stop calling him, lol. 

Thompson adds that all drones are required to have a remote ID, and you can download a free app like Drone Scanner to determine of the required ID is being broadcast if you spot one. I have downloaded this app but have so far have nothing. 

Because these sightings are at night, when your eyes play tricks with you, I believe that some people might be mistaking planes as drones. So contrary to some suggestions, it would be both reckless and irresponsible to shoot down what might turn out to be a plane. 

It would also be irresponsible. 

I'd agree, however, that more transparency from President Joe Biden's administration is needed if he decided to take a break from commuting the sentences of corrupt judges. 

Here's what Judge John Morganelli has to say, in his capacity as a citizen: "What I find incredible is that our military can identify a specific target , FROM OUTER SPACE, such as a terrorist sitting in his car in the middle of Afghanistan, and send a rocket from space to instantly eliminate the target, but they have no idea of the source of a drone in plain sight over NJ!! I don’t think so!"
