Last winter, Colorado had a scourge of drone sightings in the eastern plains, night after night. Technically unidentified as far as their origin and purpose, they were spotted by many to be professional-grade drones with longer range capability when compared to most civilian drones.
They appeared to be flying grid patterns over open farmland, and possibly and more worryingly, near our ICBM nuclear missile facilities sprinkled throughout northern Colorado, southern Wyoming and southwest Nebraska. This happened night after night for a few months and even now, their purpose is unknown. Even with the assistance of Federal law enforcement agencies, no one knows who was flying them. (At least, that’s what they told media and the public.)
How is it possible in this decade when seemingly every movement and transaction is monitored by the government? If these drones were flown by a private or corporate operator running this fleet to map the plains or whatever the reason may be, they were brilliant in their subterfuge and out-smarted our most prepared clandestine services. This is highly unlikely. Maybe it’s impossible.
If they were a foreign adversary mapping out our nuclear deterrent missile sites or hunting for new ones and went about their business with impunity, we have a big problem because even our three-letter Department of Defense folks couldn’t solve this caper.
