By now everyone who isn't a hermetically sealed recluse has gotten wind of the drones invading New Jersey. The panic and outcry is unbelievable.
Just for openers, no laws have been broken, or even badly bent. I've read some of the commentary by politicians and talking heads - Too close to the airport! - and by our next President, who I'm a bit disappointed in. He overreacted, probably because he was pissed off about something. From what little we the people know, the invading air force consists of drones and ultralight aircraft. The drones vary in size from hobbyist style up to and including military or commercial drones. The ultralights carry one person, the pilot, and given the season and the temperature, they're probably wearing survival suits of some kind.
The only thing I believe that it's safe to say is that the United States Federal Government has stated several times that they, collectively, know nothing about the aircraft in question, and therefore we-the-retards have nothing to worry about.
That means that the government knows all about the drones and that we the people have plenty to worry about.
This morning the New Jersey militia/local police said that they captured a drone, but it turned out to be a lawn ornament for a factory. No, I'm not kidding, and no, I haven't been drinking. Yet.
Just keep looking up, and if you see one flip it off.
I'm sorely tempted to seek council from the Canadian Crapcopter Consultant, Glen Filthie.

I saw that one guy tried to get close with his drone over a restricted area, when his FULL battery suddenly went to zero, and the mystery drone floated merrily on...
The government has a drone scrambler that disrupts the signal, which would bring the drone down.
