My partner lives in this area and while I was there on Monday night, at about 8:45pm, we counted about 10 drones flying around. They came in from the west but for the duration of their visit, moved around from west to south, to east to north, in erratic patterns.
Given the first sightings were in the more eastern counties of Colorado, and have been moving westward, but remaining in the rural areas still, it seems like someone is searching for something. Did the military lose something? There's an air-force base in Cheyenne, WY, and one down in Colorado Springs...
- macinjosh 7y agoMilitary seems most likely to me. The military have said it is not them but we all know that doesn't make it true. Assuming they are searching for something what could be found after dark? Perhaps something that gives off radioactivity or light in an invisible spectrum? Why would they fly at night other than to help them lay low? Perhaps it is some sort of military drone flight training program?
- fetus8 7y agoYeah, the prevailing thought was it has to be radioactive or tagged with something that can be seen with IR or something. I assume the nighttime thing partially has to do with avoiding migrating Canadian Geese, and of course obscured visibility. It absolutely could be some sort of training program, which seems like the most likely answer, but why lie about it when you've been so readily "caught"?
- caseyf7 7y agoUnlikely that it is for training. There are enough remote military bases where the training could be done without alarming locals.
