Second New York City Drone Sighted

Tyler Durden's picture




 

A week after the first unidentified flying drone (UFD) sighting in New York, which even got the FBI scrambling to cover the tracks of the despotic democratic government and going so far as to solicit public input on what was, supposedly, a misplaced remote-controlled airplane, here comes drone 2:

I've seen kites in the shape of planes and if you fly them low in overcast weather, the eye looses the depth perception and they may actually appear much larger than a kite.

Can you imagine if the joke is on the FBI and NYPD?

Exit 23 is just passed Flushing Meadows and basically right in the path of planes taking off today from LGA.  In fact I saw them from the parking lot up from the Merry-Go-Round and Queens Zoo on the Corona side around 3pm.  Drones on exit 23 would have put them right in a path.

Rehearsal?

I was there once near Shea stadium Flushing Medow area and those days there were flying remote controlled toy planes on weekends the ones with the little gas egine. Is it possible?

I'm sure it was a radio controlled aircraft, but with an electric motor and FPV capability.  In other words, a camera on the aircraft and goggles on the person flying it.  Regular radio controlled aircraft fly "within visual site", never being father away than the person flying it can see.  The FPV aircraft can go as far as the radio will transmit and power source will allow.   Incredibly cheap nowadays and can be bought at many hobby stores on the internet.  These will be outlawed very soon with the new FAA regulations.

I was going to say the same thing.  These are likely little 3 foot foam RC aircraft that someone is flying FPV.  I fly a RC foam airplane, although only within sight range.  I'm sure the upshot of all this hullabaloo will be a ban on FPV aircraft, and likely some kind of restriction of other RC aircraft to some kind of government-sponsored airfield (with requisite high usage fees/licenses attached!).  Thanks in advance for that, you paranoid politicians!  Way to wreck another harmless hobby.

Seems to me, people are seeing UFOS and should be shooting them down, so our country is not invaded.  Or is that part of trying to have guns banned?   If I saw a UFO I would not hestitate to shoot it, as of course I want to help save our world from aliens.  So I say shoot down those flying machines.

Meanwhile, where everyone should be paying attention to those who gain and profit from making the drones and then selling them to everyone so everyone can play war games against each other, there are greater things happening. The same ol profiteering game of the heartless satanic rottenschild/rockofeller bankster empire of dust that sells armed drones and ammunition to both sides of a conflict so they can blow each other up and cause more trouble with, marches on. Just wait until a major airliner has a "collision" with one of these drones, or one is found spying on some politician laying naked in their back yard, or something even more incriminating.

Re Second Drone Sighting over NYC/Long Island.

 

Everyone relax!

Geeez... probably just Hillary on her way to  the Hamptons -riding her broomstick - to check out the summer squatting opps...  no doubt circling BlankFiend's property on Pondscum Lane right now.

Also - it has been confirmed that the first "Drone Sighting" was, in fact, Chris Christie - the Goodyear Blimp Gov of NJ - who apparently broke his moorings at a weekend All-You-Can-Eat Buffet and just floated -carried by the prevailing westerly winds - over NYC... and was last heard to be approaching The Azores.

Finally, chill on this: Those annoying, loud-buzzing sounds over Central Park are not  DHS Mico Drones - or even S. American giant killer-mosquitos: it's just Mayor  "Mikey" BloomTurd test-piloting his Mighty-Mouse Flying Cape... ready to swoop down &  do battle with any unsuspecting tourist unfortunate enuf to be sipping a soda on a park bench

There will be an increase of drones being used by the DEA. Drones can determine if meth is being cooked indoors and underground. Drones can detect underground labs, underground marijuana farms, and the list goes on and on of what drones are capable of. The government has got a "head start" over us U.S. citizens on the drone program, because Americans are absolutely clueless about drones. I can't wait for the IRS drones. Our prisons are going to become even more overcrowded.

How funny would it be if thousands of NY City residents started inundating the police departments in the area with thousands and thousands of reports of military drone sightings. I mean, I for one, would be totally freaked out if I saw a military airframe operating within my national borders, as that's the sort of thing that would only happen in this country during times of war, so if I see one, then that must mean we are at war w/ a foreign and invading army, and it is my duty as an Amerikan Citizen to notify the approrpriate uniformed civil-servant of this infraction of our national sovereignity.

 

Maybe if they're too busy responding to drone sightings they'll stop molesting those fine upstanding Banksters down on Wall-street.

 

Or I'd wager that little gray plane is Jon Corzine's personal tracking device from the SEC. They're just minutes away from nabbing him for the crimes he committed, they only need a few more pieces of non-circumstantial evidence....

 

I'm sure it's not big-brother, though, absolutely sure.
