    Mysterious drone swarms over Colorado and Nebraska - Chasing Venus?

    When a UFO witness, without being prompted, says, "It's not X," there's a 95% chance it is X. That's not a plane. Cut to a shot of an airplane. It was only dark for half an hour and drones could be seen all over the sky and appear as twinkling lights; sometimes just one, but...

    "Drone" Photo over Colorado - Actually a Boeing 737

    I want to be clear that I'm not making fun of these people. This is a very human thing to do. Vision and perception are complex. As I said, distances and sizes in a featureless night sky are ambiguous. Witness expectations about the size of the object have led these people to see aircraft as...

    The landing lights are on, and I flopped the image, but it looks like a pretty good match.

    "Drone" Photo over Colorado - Actually a Boeing 737

    I'm checking with the photographer to confirm where this photo was taken. I suspect it was at the intersection of CR 22 and CR 4D. The metadata says it was taken at 8:12 and 32 seconds. Three 737's went right over this location within a few minutes following the same flight corridor. Right...

    Mysterious drone swarms over Colorado and Nebraska - Chasing Venus?

    In any case, what would make anyone think these are drones? (They couldn't be airplanes. I don't believe in airplanes. - Old Ufology joke) Are they saying there are no airplanes in this footage at all? That would be extraordinary. Okay, so some of them must be airplanes. Which ones...

    Mysterious drone swarms over Colorado and Nebraska - Chasing Venus?

    What's the compass heading in degrees? About 340? It's a short focal length lens. A camera pointing in that direction would have some of the planes heading toward Denver in the frame. And there seems to be an air corridor north of I-76 with planes going to SLC, Boston, LAX, etc.

    "Drone" Photo over Colorado - Actually a Boeing 737

    This is the story behind the photo. As light turned to dark Thursday, stars appeared in the night sky. And soon after, so did drones. Around 6:10 p.m., a Denver Post reporter and photographer spotted two unmanned aircraft whizzing west above I-70, 8 miles outside Limon. More drones could be...

    Mysterious drone swarms over Colorado and Nebraska - Chasing Venus?

    I wish I had more time to go into this, but this northeast area of Colorado has a long history of Cattle Mutilation hysteria and lore. This article summarizes what happened there in the summer of 1975. Phantom helicopters were (and are) an important part of the lore. This passage is about...

    Mysterious drone swarms over Colorado and Nebraska - Chasing Venus?

    From the story... ...up in the air was some sort of contraption, with red and flashing white lights, that rotated as it moved up and down through the sky. Rollins watched one apparent drone overhead for about a half-hour, capturing a short video of it, before it flew out of sight, she said...

    Mysterious drone swarms over Colorado and Nebraska - Chasing Venus?

    This national story is a late comer. This has been going on for some time. Denver Post 12/23/19 https://www.denverpost.com/2019/12/23/drones-mystery-colorado/ The drones stay about 200 feet to 300 feet in the air and fly steadily in squares of about 25 miles, he said. There are at least 17...

    It looks to me that this show is trying to get two Demos on board. They do some debunking, then hoax something "mysterious." So you've got just enough to intrigue skeptics, then tickle the true believers.
