Colorado at night.

Since the week of Christmas, giant drones measuring up to 6 feet across have been spotted in the sky at night, sometimes in swarms as large as 30. The Denver Post first reported these mysterious drone sightings in northeastern Colorado on December 23. Since then, sightings have spanned six counties across Colorado and Nebraska.

Phillips County Sheriff Thomas Elliott had no answer for where the drones came from or whom they belonged to but did have a rough grasp on their flying habits. "They've been doing a grid search, a grid pattern," he told The Denver Post. "They fly one square and then they fly another square."

The drones, estimated to have 6-foot wingspans, have been flying over Phillips and Yuma counties every night for about the past week, Elliott said Monday. Each night, at least 17 drones appear at about 7 o'clock and disappear at about 10 o'clock, staying 200 to 300 feet in the air.


The Federal Aviation Administration told The Post it had no idea where the drones came from. Representatives for the Air Force, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the US Army Forces Command all said the drones did not belong to their organizations.

As the airspace where the drones are flying is relatively ungoverned, there are no regulations requiring the drone operators to identify themselves.


The Post spoke with the commercial photographer and drone pilot Vic Moss, who said the drones appeared to be searching or mapping out the area. Moss said drones often flew at night for crop-examination purposes. The drones might also belong to a local Colorado drone company, which could be testing new technologies.

In the meantime, Moss urges residents not to shoot down the drones, as they are highly flammable.

"It becomes a self-generating fire that burns until it burns itself out," he told The Post. "If you shoot a drone down over your house and it lands on your house, you might not have a house in 45 minutes."

Mods the below is all publicly available information.

From OP

The drones might also belong to a local Colorado drone company, which could be testing new technologies.

ANSYS offers the industry’s most complete simulation solution for autonomous vertical-takeoff-and-landing (VTOL) aircraft. From concept design to predictive maintenance — and everything in between — the integrated solution accelerates development time.

Capabilities include:

Sensor (camera, lidar, radar) design and testing
Perception software validation

Functional safety analysis
Automatic generation of safety-certified embedded software
Simulation of performance in real-world scenarios


LIDAR

One of the things it is used for is Archeology, I take that to mean it is similar to Ground Sensing Radar, meaning it can "see" under ground to a certain depth" this means your bunker or underground storage can be identified . Radar is also one of the functions in the drones that ANSYS makes.

Feds looking for Guerilla Grows. There's been a sizeable crackdown on the Cannabis production out West. In places that have it legalized, but are simultaneously shipping their supply out of State. The dispensaries, combined with the Federal government have been snitching on certain growers because they continue to operate outside of the sphere of Government intrusion. The post office is complicit, as well as many logistics companies nationwide. They'll make sure you lose so much profit, you're forced to leave the business. Making the Gov have it all on a lock down. They've been planning this shit for decades. And by the way, the drug war is a precursor for the gun war that is coming. Just you wait, and watch.

Residents in Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska have spotted dozens of giant drones flying across their skies in recent weeks
The drones allegedly fly in grid-like patterns, and up to 30 have been seen at one time
No private companies nor government agencies have claimed responsibility for the drones
The FBI is now joining a task force set aimed at identifying the operators of the aerial vehicles
The task force consists of 77 separate agencies, including the FAA, the Air Force and the Army


The FBI has joined a new task force set up to investigate mysterious drones which have been spotted flying over Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas in recent weeks.

Residents in multiple counties across the three states have been left baffled after spotting dozens of the aerial-vehicles, which feature six-feet wingspans and fly across the sky in grid-like patterns between the hours of 6 and 10 pm.

On Monday, around 75 people from a variety of state, local and federal agencies - including the FBI - met in the city of Brush, Colorado in a bid to uncover the identity of the drones' operators.

CBS reports that 77 different agencies have now joined the task force. No private companies or government agencies have admitted that they are operating the drones.

According to The Denver Post, representatives from the FAA, the Air Force, and the Army - in addition to members of the FBI - were present at Monday's meeting, which lasted around 90 minutes.

One county sheriff who attended the meeting told the publication that the task force is hoping to hunt down a 'command vehicle' which could be controlling the flying objects from the ground.

'A drone 500 feet in the air, we can't do much about that. A suspicious vehicle in the middle of a county road is something we absolutely can[ do something about],' Lincoln County sheriff's Captain Michaell Yowell told The Denver Post.

The vehicle could possibly be a 'closed box trailer with antennas or a large van'.
