That was a crazy story. I watched a good chunk of it.
Sepehr has several videos on native american encounters with the same sort of stuff.

On the long side, but plenty of overlapping topics to stuff that shows up in here. Carrol does a great job explaining things without any of the "people who don't subscribe to my side of things are stupid" that is so often seen.

Bandwagon Do you know of any tube/missile shaped drones that operate horizontally while in motion? The only one I can recall are the Spirit UAS's but I could have sworn they were vertically oriented only.
Not commercial, but I've seen one similar to that. Some guy was building one ~10 years ago and posted it on DIYdrones.com. it had counter rotating blades on a central shaft. I remember watching a video of it taking off vertically and hovering on a test flight. I believe he was going to try doing something like an EDF version, and eventually try to get it to tilt into forward flight.
I can't remember the name though. Pretty sure it's an old aircraft design he was using and not something he just pulled out of his ass.

Design and build of a coaxial drone
I’ve been fascinated by coaxial drones for some time now so I decided to design and build the simplest example of one I could. From the outset I’ve known this isn’t going to be an outstanding performer (I’m aware of some limitations and drawbacks of such a design) but decided to go ahead with it...

Hello to everyone on here! You guys can thank Monroe for getting me involved with this project, he and I have been friends for quite a while now and we think a lot alike. To make a long story short, we are working on a guided rocket project and the option that made the most sense was to use...

Until I see something that defies the laws of physics, I assume everything is a "drone", and often attainable by one dude in a garage. Even a dude missing fingers.
