Mystery drones

Turns out... it really might be China?

I’m about 2 hours from DC. The wife and I saw one fly over our neighborhood and over our downtown area. It looked consistent with videos I saw people posting from northern Virginia.

Who knows... maybe the mystery will be solved eventually. Or not.

People have claimed to see some here, since we're next door, and one photo for sure was a drone. But people might also be mistaking planes and shooting stars on occasion. There are also assumptions that people are now just going out and flying theirs to be a part of it.

Personally, I'd wondered if people were simply getting ariel shots of Christmas lights, though reports suggest they're larger than the typical hobby drone.

Though now there's an article of father/daughter pair down state that own one of very few "flying cars" (BlackFly) who are asking to please not be shot down... lol Maybe just don't fly the thing for a bit?

Sounds like FAA special projects? Or something?
