I'm heavier than that, have never had hair that long (when I tried growing it once, everyone told me not to for six months), and wasn't born yet in 1935.

Also, fuck the police!

This has been going on for a while so it may have already been mentioned here..

What Are Those Mysterious Drones Doing in Colorado?

The swarm appears to be practicing a search for ... something.

seems like someone just playing with some new toys.

Bandwagon Have you ever heard of something like this dude? Sounds pretty cool to see.

Colorado & North Dakota have enourmous drone R&D activities. What's described in that article isn't anything weird or tough. The only question mark I have is range/flight time. If a single flight is covering more than ~30 miles, you're getting up out of the "consumer" grade drones.

They're probably testing drone swarming like Intel, but I can do psuedo-swarming myself with $400 drones and $15 software.

Carlson has all this Youngar Dryas stuff locked down. he also has an interesting theory about the Chicago Fire. a bunch of other major fires were reported in the region at the same time. the Mrs Oleary's cow story is probably bullshit

I could listen to Randall ramble on about the post dryas floods for days. Totally going to take a geology course.

Unrelated news.

An update to this question. Certainly sounds like expensive drones if he has his shit together.

Lots of VTOL / Transitional drones in the wild right now. The delta wing style drones also have to fly faster than others to keep from stalling.

If they're flying back and forth in a grid pattern, at night & with multiple drones in the air at a time, I could see that being some sort of thermal/multispectral flight where they are trying to normalize the reflectance values as much as possible over the course of the flight. If 1 drone is mapping X acres and it takes 8 hours to cover it, multispectral & thermal mapping will be harder because of environmental changes occurring over the course of the flight. Swarm mapping at night is a potential way to address that problem. Could also be a search & rescue type test. I remember reading a story about an algorithm for methodically searching for someone based off of human predictability in crisis situations. Thermal at night with a drone swarm seems like a good way to test it out.
