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!

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

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.
