And there's nothing about that idea that makes me feel comfortable.
I heard a blurb on the news that the FFA has said that there is just an increase in drone enthusiasm in Jersey, which is what I stated early on.
The federal government said yesterday that it was government drones being used for "research and other purposes."
They said some of it was other drones.
Idk... Looks like the whole thing was blown out of proportion and increased the power of the local governments to police the sky.
One thing was allowing the local police to scan cellphones for data, over certain areas.
There were quite a few things like that instituted because of the hysteria.
Yeh, the blurb mentioned that they had given local governments these radio signal blockers (I can't remember what they are called), but they block the controls on the drones. It is a military use item that is highly illegal in civilian circumstances. But, anyways, they were dropping the drones out of the sky and pissed off hundreds of kids. Not a one had anything nefarious going on.
I liken the whole thing to a state full of Karens mad at things flying legally over their land, and the mental cases making conspiracy theories out of mole hills.
People are eager to take the bait, that's for sure.
You could come up with any half baked theory, go on Twitter and find a million people who think you have the truth.
These are fertile grounds.
I'm afriad the media and the governments have driven people crazy, by lying to them so blatantly all the time.
We have our very own 'unexplained weird sighting', in this case only ever witnessed by children, it is the famous Owlman of Mawnan which hangs around our 13th century church!

Strictly speaking it was sighted at Mawnan, about 2 miles from Mawnan Smith.

True...
And, we also have a plethora of UFO shows in the US that makes these sweeping false claims, but word them so a lesser intelligent person takes them as fact. For example... "the US has refused to admit that there is a secret UFO cover up agency." and then later... "Senators refuse to release the documents for the UFO cover up agency." If there is no UFO cover up agency, then of course... but, they make it sound top secret, and conspiracy fans eat it up.
Yes, there is some weird stuff out there in this world/universe. There is also a lot of deep fakes and people with flippant convictions to believe stuff like this very easily.
The United States spent $25.8 billion on Project Apollo between 1960 and 1973, or approximately $257 billion when adjusted for inflation to 2020 dollars. Adding Project Gemini and the robotic lunar program, both of which enabled Apollo, the U.S. spent a total of $28 billion ($280 billion adjusted). Spending peaked in 1966, three years before the first Moon landing. The total amount spent on NASA during this period was $49.4 billion ($482 billion adjusted).

The Vietnam War cost $168 billion, or $1 trillion in today's dollars.19 That included $111 billion in military operations and $28.5 billion in aid to South Vietnam.
Even 40 years after the war, compensation benefits for Vietnam veterans and families were still estimated to cost $22 billion per year.20Surviving spouses qualify for lifetime benefits if the veteran died from war wounds. Veterans' children receive benefits until age 18. If the children are disabled, they receive lifetime benefits. Since 1970, the post-war benefits for veterans and families have cost $270 billion.

My good friend Rod Gates of Jordan called me yesterday. He has some new disease he can’t pronounce he got from Agent Orange or the malaria in the jungles of Southeast Asia leading a SOG squad as point man.
He says his doctors at the VA have him on medicine that’s helping it, quite a bit.
He’s fixed my 1945 Winchester Model 12 composed trap good as new.
There are quite a few people that doubt we landed on the moon, some who even still believe the earth is flat.
None who doubt we lost 58,000 boys in Vietnam.
Science is peaceful. It leads to $100 drones we can fly over our houses and take photos and scare the superstitious.
War is so wasteful. Think how many talented gunsmiths were killed as boys in Vietnam.
Sign me up for a return to the moon, then on to Mars.
The only times in my life the entire country was united was watching a space shot, when the moon was the goal.
Can anyone remember, waiting for splashdowns?
