Here's the SF writer explanation: they're time-traveling camera vehicles, here to record momentous events.
Momentous events are rarely fun while they're happening. If I lived in the areas with the most reports, I'd go elsewhere.
Of course, it could just be the result of population density and a recent change in FAA rules that allows drones to operate after dark -- but there's no fun or profit in that, is there?
Sifi... Copseyes they have been in development for years.
ReplyDeleteOf they are just airplanes flying around the big three LaGuardia, JFK, and Newark airports.
Eck!
New Jersey? Really? That suggests to me that there is no intelligent alien species flying them.
ReplyDeleteMaybe its Satanic Ritual Abusers operating from Imperial Japanese Naval subs (to combine a couple of previous public panics)?
ReplyDeletePerhaps they're surveillance from FCS. Maybe your starship friend could provide more details? (hint hint)
ReplyDeleteAttention New Jersey momentous-event-seeking drones! Go back into the time-slip-stream; you're 87 years late.
