Yup thats what it was these very small preditor drones like small toy planes you would buy in a store and put together no bigger then a bird..!!!!...ffs... SHIT that stuff sucks.. You know it's one thing when they are all up in your business but when they start sending out big brother like this it's time to say good bye you fucking assholes!!!!Peronally I would look for a different place to live one where they didn't... peace out Headband707
Flying pigs UK style
time to start building that EMP-gun, i suppose...
or just get the air rifles out
Flying pigs UK style
Yeah a bit smaller then this lol FUCK!!!!!!!!! not sure what they are called .. I would call them predator drones I don't give a shit what anyone else calls them!!! They obviously brought these from the war and we are fucked that they are using them on civilians now!! ..I seen a show about what the army has as far as robots and they have one that looks like a pigeon and it lands on cloths lines. They have ones that look like cockroaches and they drop hundreds of then and they crawl all over buildings They have ones that look like snakes...,, These planes are old ones..
peace out Headband707

welcome to the future. its only gonna get worse
I'm assuming if you shot it it would have not only a gps but a camera on it recording you and your location. lol. So that wouldn't work lol.. But if they have had this type of technology then why did it take them so long to get Osama Bin Laden again?? lol.. what a bunch of BS..This is seriously so sad... peace out Headband707
Yeah this is not my future this is some type of George Orwelling 1984 bullshit and I want off this gride...
I'm already starting to feel like I live in the matrix lol
just wait till you see what they have got up their sleeves technology wise,, the upcoming years are going to be so wierd..

death is nomore
Yeah, saw these a few year's ago, it was basically a snap together model airplane with a web cam and transmitter. Company bragged about how they were customizing commercially available planes to keep costs down and make for easy repairs.
Thing is, in the US I think there are only 3 different frequencies for commercial R/C use. And for those big R/C nuts, there are customizable remote units that can transmit on any of the three of these frequencies with the flip of a switch. There also ways to boost the transmission for those remotes for those rebel R/C'ers who ain't skeert of the FCC.
Now sure, the freqs could be different, or control transmissions encoded, but that adds cost to a buyer who only buys lowest bidder. How many police chiefs can convince the mayor they not only need a drone, but they need the most expensive one because cracky may have an E-WAR suite on the bike he just stole
Bonus, the closer it gets to you, the more likely your signal is to override theirs. Your place becomes like the Bermuda Triangle for drones. Well, drones and your neighbor kid's R/C car
If you're super-paranoid, you could get an R/C transmitter program for your computer, and have it frequency hop with a simple max left stick command for 5 seconds per channel. May not bring it down, or be as fun as taking control and smashing it into the patrol car, but you better believe when they start getting intermitent severe control failures, they'll bring their toy home with a quickness. Best part of that scenario is that they will probably chalk it up to a glitch or mechanical issue.
DEA probably uses ACTUAL Predator drones, and if you can hack a Predator's encrypted sattelite feed and take command, well... you should probably worry more about the in-bound AC-130

You are all worried about Them Flir'ing your house's
If someone really wanted too, all of our addresses and ip's could be out in the open.
I am more afraid of the net then I am a plain trying to flir me... Just try to run cool spread the heat around.

I saw on the evening news last night that the rebel contingent in Libya trying to overthrow Kadafy were using these, the kind they were using were modeled after helicopters, had cameras only, were being used as "eyes in the sky" type thing. I forget the size of them, but they were small, like 16 inches or so.
Some Canadien company makes them. Each one cost something like 120 thousand bucks. The rebels couldn't afford them, somebody else donated them to the cause.

Libyan Rebels Reportedly Used Tiny Canadian Surveillance Drone
By IAN AUSTEN
OTTAWA — Libyan rebels have been coordinating their attacks using a Canadian-made, unmanned surveillance aircraft, the drone’s manufacturer announced Tuesday.
David Kroetsch, the president and chief executive of the manufacturer, Aeryon Labs of Waterloo, Ontario, said in an interview that his company was first approached by a representative of the Libyan Transitional National Council early in June, after members of the group searching the Web saw the company’s surveillance aircraft — essentially a tiny, four-rotor helicopter dangling a pod carrying stabilized-image day- and night-vision cameras.
The drone is extremely compact — the company says that it weighs about three pounds and fits into a backpack — and its operator does not need any knowledge of flight. Mr. Kroetsch said such factors were crucial for the rebels. The device is simply controlled by tracing flight paths on maps displayed on a touch screen display. Its base price is $120,000.
“They knew that they needed air support of some kind because they were fighting blind on the ground,” Mr. Kroetsch said. “But they couldn’t afford helicopters.”
Aeryon notified the Canadian government about the potential sale, both to get approval and to verify the identities of the buyers. Mr. Kroetsch said the government had no objections, partly because the sale involved a civilian version of the battery-powered drone sometimes used by oil companies to survey spills. Canada’s Department of Foreign Affairs did not immediately respond to requests for comment. There was no independent confirmation of the sale from the rebels in Libya.
Mr. Kroetsch described the process as involving “a series of connections” over several weeks.
“It was a very complicated set of people involved,” Mr. Kroetsch said. “It’s not the most organized group in general.”
Ultimately, the drone was purchased for the transitional council by a private security company based in Ottawa, Zariba Security, which has given training and operational support for other Aeryon customers.
Charles Barlow, the president of Zariba, said that he brokered the purchase, and that assembling the financing involved hundreds of e-mails among people in eight countries, suggesting considerable donations from outside of Libya.
Mr. Barlow delivered the drone himself in July, taking it on an 18-hour voyage from Malta to the Libyan port of Misurata on a former South Korean fishing ship chartered by the rebels. The ship was also carrying a BBC film crew, two ambulances from the German Red Cross, several cellphone engineers and some mine-removal experts.
Mr. Barlow said he stayed in Misurata for two days to train the drone’s operators while the city was under steady artillery and rocket assault. When he left Misurata, Mr. Barlow said, he was told that the drone would first be used to survey the highway to Tripoli. Where it has been used since is unclear, but Mr. Barlow was told about three days ago that the drone was still flying.
