Drone poll [View all]

Just to be annoying on a Sunday night. I'm going to do something I rarely do... post an unscientific internet poll.

Since the drone story's been dominating the news, I'm curious. What do you think we're seeing?

102 votes, 15 passes \| Time left: Unlimited
	Conventional aircraft mistaken for drones
	6 (6%)
	Commercial drones that operate at night
	7 (7%)
	An increase in drone hobbyists operating their aircraft at night (law allows this as of 2021)
	32 (31%)
	A US military operation so secret they cannot disclose it publicly
	20 (20%)
	A foreign military operation
	4 (4%)
	Good ol' swamp gas
	2 (2%)
	This is panic - there is no unusual aerial activity
	31 (30%)
