Jim has a great run-down of various drone theories in the Jolt this morning. I’ll just relate my experience with drones. The other night I saw a Ring message from someone not far from my town that there were a bunch of drones over a local thoroughfare. So I went up and peered into the sky.

Sure enough, there, hovering over the tree line was a mystery light, and then another. They seemed to be small, low, and hovering, with red and green lights. When I took video of them, they definitely looked like the video of a drone. Then, I focused on one longer: Slowly, it got closer, and bigger, and higher, and then way up there, thousands of feet up, was a plane. It was barely audible. But it was a plane. It was directly overhead, and as it proceeded on its way, it reached the horizon on the other side and looked, once again, like a small drone hovering over the tree line.

There have been actual credible reports of drones, but I think most of the sightings have much to do with the power of suggestion. H. G. Wells, call your office.
