"pretty high", lmao. I'm a commercial pilot with over 1200 hours, also I am a drone operator, and an aerospace engineer, I can guarantee you there is no propeller-driven commercial or home-built drone that is flying above 12,000 ft.

One would think that another drone could locate these unknown drones and tail them to their landing spot where the operator could be identified. Doesn't seem to be too difficult.

That’s a real hard decision to make. If the drones are flying in, around, or over military bases and in military airspace, jam any signals being transmitted from the drones and blast them out of the sky! This would have been standard operating procedure during the “Cold War” it would also have been an act of war committed by whoever was in control of the drone(s) at that time! Y’all act like this is something new! It’s just newer technology, nothing new about the tactics for what is happening nor for the tactics of response!
But jamming bleeds out beyond the base, and that's not allowed. Hunting the operator down off base is a local popo thing and that requires coordination and law enforcement equipment. If they wanted, they could track a radio control signal to its source with antenna, a meter, and some intelligence. I think that is the barrier. During the Narco wars, the runners would hire ex-military with little more than a handheld RF detector to avoid US Coast Guard and Mexican military patrols.

As someone truly in the hobby. You cannot buy an off the shelf toy drone and fly it to those altitudes. Complete misinformation by the media as usual. I would have to ask “what entity is responsible for this”. Answer, most likely foreign.

They looked like chaf only they were not falling to earth. About ten vehicles joined me on the side of the road to watch. After a while the dots began to come together. They all joined into a spinning circle like a bicycle tire and ZIP, accelerated straight up at a fantastic speed and disappeared. This was twenty years ago.
You are mistaken. The GPS in the aircraft does know “height above ground”. It’s often used in contests, I launch my glider with a small motor and it shuts off at 250 feet. Then I try and stay up as long as I can. After about an hour I lose concentration and land though.
@@raymondbunkofske4702 - I understand that your "glider with a small motor" is big enough to carry your body. What do you know about the cheap small drones with 4 of 6 propellers? (Literally, what do you know, it is not an irony.)

Off the shelf drones have a limit of 400 feet. Commercial or professional drones go higher. They have to be trained and certified. If the FAA cared they could locate the pilots within an hour. If they cared.
The suspicion of Chinese involvement, particularly if drones are spotted near sensitive US military installations, aligns with concerns over espionage and data collection that have been raised regarding Chinese-made technology in other areas (e.g., telecom networks, apps like TikTok). Surveillance could involve direct observation or the interception of communications.
The smaller DJI drones are limited to 1600 feet. The drones you can buy at the store or online DO NOT go that high. These drones need to be found, captured and inspected.
I adapted a 12ga shotgun barrel to a old pneumatic powered air gun. Attach thin wire to 3/8 steel balls. Have not had to use it since I hung spider wire from tall trees front and backyards. If a drone flys over that's one thing and stupidly legal. BUT hovering Over scoping out my house or yard. Or harassing my dog. They get taken down. Three have mysteriously fallen out of the sky. Some spider wire from one 30 ft tree to the other caught one. One is still hanging 15ft off the deck. Waiting to be claimed. It ran into a wire 18ft off the deck. Its huge 3ft wide. Two external cameras. I'm not going to say what kind of drone it is but the cameras alone are over $1,000 online.
Drones drones drones. In my area there is a maximum security prison. The news reported an individual was apprehended with a large powerful drone capable of lift up a person. The news never showed that drone. After that incident I followed up on drones, in that search found a business that was raided in Texas that built personal drones for clients big enough to carry large heavy payloads.
Why would such powerful drones be inherently illegal, when they could serve a legitimate purpose? It's the criminal mis-use of the product, rather than the product itself.
So someone is just flying hundreds of these things all across the country around the same time? That sounds ridiculous. The only other option is that it has to be the military doing this or else any civilian would be arrested quickly for doing this.
Not the the U.S., its world wide. Not just one person/group. This is a bigger deal than a lot of people want to admit, There are two issues really, there are these drones and then there are Orbs that are being seen and reported world wide as well.
It could be someone who just enjoys POV flying, out for a spin. It's just as possible to be nefarious, but there are plenty of drone pilots who just like to fly for fun and to see what they can see.
I had one circling my neighbor's and I. At sunset. I pointed my rifle at it and it flinched and flew off toward the highway. I am 15 miles off grid. Called the police, they had no clue about the origin. It was huge, black, and has something hanging from the bottom. The hanging object looked like a torpedo....
I have to wonder if “Drone “ has become the new word for “UFO” they aren’t going to ground themselves for reporting a drone And a stock DJI drone is not going to make it to 14k feet on a stock battery. At least not if it plans to land again without crashing I’d also like to know how fast these drones were moving. I don’t doubt some of these sightings were actually hobby level or store bought drones, but I expect some may have been black projects that aren’t telling everyone about even their own pilots
I am curious as to how a drone can get four miles above ground level. You're telling me these consumer-grade drones have output power THAT strong? As somebody that grew up with real RC aircraft (airplanes, a few helicopters) I have my doubts. That is WAY beyond LOS (line of sight) and I wonder how fast they'd react to inputs if they were that far away. A mile is 5,280ft. 20,000ft is almost four miles. That must be a powerful transmitter.
There is nothing preventing a small local jurisdiction from purchasing a drone and hovering it around a “suspect location”. I suppose that is the same as a stakeout. We obviously need to adjust the laws to account for this technology.
There would be tons of people who would love a job sitting at a gaming console flying a robot wars drone built on a pentagon budget to hunt down other drones. Generation 1 could start out with titanium talons (and a beak might be nice). As spies and criminals modify their drones the next generation of kill bots get chain saws, blow torches or whatever else seems appropriate.
Had a drone I guess you can say, following me at the bus stop today on Broadway and Campbell, it was facing me and when I looked directly at it, it flow away, came back around disappeared again, and then came back, was hovering above me, this time a little higher, then took off and that was it. I never had an encounter with a drone and this was my first and was very weird. I was also at the bus stop with two other people but we stood far apart from each other and this didn't do that to them.

The FBI, they have their head up their asses worrying about Facebook and School Board meetings
@@russellgraham7497 Yeah, the FBI, that's a joke.
@@russellgraham7497 They are calling the Chinese and telling them to keep it low-key.
The pilots shouldn't look at these drones as nuisances but as live fire practice opportunities.
Absolutely!!
I live in California and the last two weeks we've seen drones in the night sky, it's very strange seeing them there not small and they seem to be in a formation.
On thier way to a night time job doing aerial light shows. Drones gotta work man...
Why we have laws is because of the abuse people can’t seem to not do. Laws and punishments must be strict and quick.
Not under this administration!
@@richardsessions6846 Not under this administration? I can only think your opinion is the Biden administration is not working for your liking?
I guess a strong dictator who cares for only himself would not make laws but take actions then wait for the courts to decide if his actions are against the constitution. But wait trump said on day one he may cancel the constitution. Yep you may be correct. It’s a crazy world without laws to follow.
@@richardsessions6846 The admin acting on behalf of the WEF and UN allowed them in illegally. Most likely it's middle eastern men that crossed the kamala border.
Feds and Insurance Companies.
Go higher, there are even solar drones.
A company in Las Vegas developed a chip a few years ago that makes nighttime look like day. The US is under 24 hour surveillance.
Very few civilians can afford a drone that can have the flight time necessary to take those risky trips. And very few people are going to be able to justify losing that type of drone or buying another if it crashes. Are their some people who might do it? Sure. Is it common? Probably not.
As someone truly in the hobby. You cannot buy an off the shelf toy drone and fly it to those altitudes. Complete misinformation by the media as usual. I would have to ask “what entity is responsible for this”. Answer, most likely foreign.
As an FAA licensed Part 107 Commercial Drone Pilot, I can assure you that you can easily get a drone to that altitude. That said, those altitudes are mean sea level(MSL), and not AGL. The mountains and plateaus are already pretty high in altitude, like Denver being 5,280 above sea level, and most of the large DJI drones will get to 10,000ft so add that to the terrain elevation and you are at 14,000ft pretty easily. Do not comment upon what you clearly do not know.
@@robertwestall3456 exactly
Come on! We ALL know from the talking heads on the 24 hour for-profit "fear" channels that you can walk into any Target and buy a toy drone which you can park in front of your neighbor's window spying 24 hours a day, or visit airliners at 30-35 thousand feet!
@@ImpendingJokerYou just committed the logical fallacy of appealing to authority. Your "trust me bro I'm a pro" position is without weight or merit and does not offer adequate standing within a debate. Provide proof to back up your assertions or we'll be forced to conclude that it is you who doesn't know what they're talking about.
@@ImpendingJoker What the hell is an" FAA licensed drone pilot"? Is that one level above "Professional gamer"??
Southwest of Luke AFB? So towards Palo Verde?
I bought my nephew a nice drone, he loves it. All drones are supposed to have FAA tags to inform if illegal activity is happening.
It’s Amazon 😅
"were searching for your address."
Any recent sightings?
Sorry dude store bought drone will not go 20,000 ft. Your the expert?
You're!
First off, he didn’t say 20,000ft, he just said they can fly high, secondly an off the shelf DJI Mavic 3 can go 18,000-20,000 feet in elevation.
They will if your standing at 19000 feet!
Highway 8 goes through the Goldwater range. I was heading to San Diego from Phoenix at 2:00 am. I saw a swarm of intense dots of light, hundreds of them. They looked like chaf only they were not falling to earth. About ten vehicles joined me on the side of the road to watch. After a while the dots began to come together. They all joined into a spinning circle like a bicycle tire and ZIP, accelerated straight up at a fantastic speed and disappeared. This was twenty years ago.
Best comment from a news anchor in 10 years, CONGRESS is STILL figuring out what to do!!!!😂😂😂
Chinese spying
Cartels
How can you stop a cheap drone at 400 feet ?
It does not have an altitude detector, to automatically limit the ceiling.
Correct me if I am wrong.
You are mistaken. The GPS in the aircraft does know “height above ground”. It’s often used in contests, I launch my glider with a small motor and it shuts off at 250 feet. Then I try and stay up as long as I can. After about an hour I lose concentration and land though.
@@raymondbunkofske4702 - I understand that your "glider with a small motor" is big enough to carry your body. What do you know about the cheap small drones with 4 of 6 propellers? (Literally, what do you know, it is not an irony.)
The Chinese are surveying their new property
Are you guys checking into other states experiencing this???
Man that title had me stressing for a sec thought my fpv drone flying was illegal lmao😂🤣
In Utah people have abuse laws, And I don't think anyone's ever been fined even, for when you're out and people are herassing each other on the street.
There's also a problem with patrol misconduct, so it doesn't amaze me that the laws aren't getting reinforced.
Ummm .. most advanced jets ... Huh... you'd think they'd be very capable of pulverizing a simple drone out of the airspace... My estimation is , they'd better learn how damned quickly.. Nothing good can come by these drones in our airspace...
I saw that drone in the PFP over Peoria and the I17 hovering the other day
News report said “Likely using drones”. But she said they ARE doing it. Protect our country!
Figure out a way to detach them from their rotors.
Drones are now the favorite low altitude sattelites,so who knows who is watching us
Off the shelf drones have a limit of 400 feet. Commercial or professional drones go higher. They have to be trained and certified. If the FAA cared they could locate the pilots within an hour. If they cared.
The police are monitoring people's behavior with drones.
Sure they are.
@josephstreff162 you mean "They sure are".
High tech military electromagnetic frequency weapons and rmn
@@ijfsfv7439 yup
Not surprised. Its easier than ever for other countries to come into this country and do what ever they want.
Bunch of bull FAA just wants to take the hobby we love , away.
If your hobby involves illegally threatening the lives and safety of people in aircraft then yeah, you deserve to be locked up.
Come on nobody flys that high.
Did Arizona have drones before NJ?
Yes for years starting in 2022.
The suspicion of Chinese involvement, particularly if drones are spotted near sensitive US military installations, aligns with concerns over espionage and data collection that have been raised regarding Chinese-made technology in other areas (e.g., telecom networks, apps like TikTok). Surveillance could involve direct observation or the interception of communications.
how big are the drones?? That pilots can see them??
The smaller DJI drones are limited to 1600 feet. The drones you can buy at the store or online DO NOT go that high. These drones need to be found, captured and inspected.
the drones they are talking about dont exist. thay made them up!
I adapted a 12ga shotgun barrel to a old pneumatic powered air gun. Attach thin wire to 3/8 steel balls. Have not had to use it since I hung spider wire from tall trees front and backyards.
If a drone flys over that's one thing and stupidly legal. BUT hovering Over scoping out my house or yard. Or harassing my dog. They get taken down. Three have mysteriously fallen out of the sky. Some spider wire from one 30 ft tree to the other caught one. One is still hanging 15ft off the deck. Waiting to be claimed. It ran into a wire 18ft off the deck. Its huge 3ft wide. Two external cameras. I'm not going to say what kind of drone it is but the cameras alone are over $1,000 online.
Drones drones drones. In my area there is a maximum security prison. The news reported an individual was apprehended with a large powerful drone capable of lift up a person. The news never showed that drone. After that incident I followed up on drones, in that search found a business that was raided in Texas that built personal drones for clients big enough to carry large heavy payloads.
Why would such powerful drones be inherently illegal, when they could serve a legitimate purpose? It's the criminal mis-use of the product, rather than the product itself.
So someone is just flying hundreds of these things all across the country around the same time? That sounds ridiculous. The only other option is that it has to be the military doing this or else any civilian would be arrested quickly for doing this.
Not the the U.S., its world wide. Not just one person/group. This is a bigger deal than a lot of people want to admit, There are two issues really, there are these drones and then there are Orbs that are being seen and reported world wide as well.
over 14 K ? , r they sure this not a neighboring Base ??
😁😆😅🤣😂
My guess...........CHINA!! Is why they are purchasing area around military bases!!
If USAF is afraid to shoot it down why not jet wash, if you pass close to it at M-2 seems like no drone could handel that kind of stress.
There is NO legitimate reason to be flying a drone at that altitude ....ALL drone operators (legitimate) know this.
criminals
It could be someone who just enjoys POV flying, out for a spin. It's just as possible to be nefarious, but there are plenty of drone pilots who just like to fly for fun and to see what they can see.
Finally some actual news. Thank You AZ3.
Close enough to see everything they need, these are not Americans flying these. Drug dealers aren’t watching Military bases!
The guys that were first to use drones doesn't know what to do about all these drones now?
I hate this world and what it’s become
Demorats are destroying america
im just inlove with the drone😉
Seen them flying late at night between 11pm -2am. Out on Navajo reservation. Leupp area.
Let me guess, regulate drones even more where recreational pilots can't fly because of clowns in the using them the wrong way.
My question is are these drones being destroyed ?
Answers easy - brandon's illegal foreign buds .
I had one circling my neighbor's and I. At sunset. I pointed my rifle at it and it flinched and flew off toward the highway. I am 15 miles off grid. Called the police, they had no clue about the origin. It was huge, black, and has something hanging from the bottom. The hanging object looked like a torpedo....
ill spam this forever, this is a manufactured story
What kind of a drone you can buy of the shelf that will go 14000.feet.
Black-rock? Or China?
Dugway mafia...
⌛️
Sounds like the someone should be doing interception operations.
AZ is done.
Military aircraft are flying over the Salt Lake City area every night. They have been doing this since January!
I build drones with capabilities of 2km in altitude and a range of 200km. With a payload capacity of 12kilograms. One of these was probably mine 😂
😂 Andale 😂
@@MacBrown-gc4sv who bought it red China..bet they paid you in yens lol 🤣 hahaha
Why aren't drones registered and regulated? Why don't they have some type of electronic signature like an IFF?
I have to wonder if “Drone “ has become the new word for “UFO” they aren’t going to ground themselves for reporting a drone
And a stock DJI drone is not going to make it to 14k feet on a stock battery. At least not if it plans to land again without crashing
I’d also like to know how fast these drones were moving. I don’t doubt some of these sightings were actually hobby level or store bought drones, but I expect some may have been black projects that aren’t telling everyone about even their own pilots
@@SummerCrowfpv Yeah a civilian drone at 14,000 ft 😂 no way. More like they don't know what's flying in the air and it isn't drones.
Why aren't they taking direct action?
Balloons to easy to see.
I live in cottonwood Arizona. we have seen slow moving lights coming from the north to the West.
Don’t worry is just the coyotes trying to cross some immigrants
Congress is perfectly capable of deciding what to do around 5 years from now.
educate yourself! this is complete bs
I am curious as to how a drone can get four miles above ground level. You're telling me these consumer-grade drones have output power THAT strong? As somebody that grew up with real RC aircraft (airplanes, a few helicopters) I have my doubts. That is WAY beyond LOS (line of sight) and I wonder how fast they'd react to inputs if they were that far away. A mile is 5,280ft. 20,000ft is almost four miles. That must be a powerful transmitter.
What to dooooo???? 😮
There is nothing preventing a small local jurisdiction from purchasing a drone and hovering it around a “suspect location”. I suppose that is the same as a stakeout. We obviously need to adjust the laws to account for this technology.
There would be tons of people who would love a job sitting at a gaming console flying a robot wars drone built on a pentagon budget to hunt down other drones. Generation 1 could start out with titanium talons (and a beak might be nice). As spies and criminals modify their drones the next generation of kill bots get chain saws, blow torches or whatever else seems appropriate.
why isn't this on national news?
Had a drone I guess you can say, following me at the bus stop today on Broadway and Campbell, it was facing me and when I looked directly at it, it flow away, came back around disappeared again, and then came back, was hovering above me, this time a little higher, then took off and that was it. I never had an encounter with a drone and this was my first and was very weird. I was also at the bus stop with two other people but we stood far apart from each other and this didn't do that to them.
Airports jam drone controls to keep them out of commercial air space . Why doesn't the military jam the signal to the drone controls?
Since this was during the cooler months in the southern desert these where being operated from somebody in close proximity on the ground.
Are the so-called drones being reported by pilots as drones, or are they being reported as UAP? That is an important distinction.
I was wondering why Luke put up a new radar tower next to the southern gate. This explains so much!
I am in central Pennsylvania, and I am being harassed by gangstalkers who have been using drones (among many other methods) to stalk me.
I see at least 3 at night in Cochise county and they are way up in the sky
