Title: Tulsa Drone?
Post by: Teatownclown on November 18, 2012, 11:11:54 PM
Twice tonight I saw what appeared to be a well lit helicopter at first glance, but noticed no vibration or motor noise. Besides being only a couple hundred feet in the air and moving at around 60 mph, the second pass 3 hours later indicates a  possible UFO. I think it's a drone. TPD?

It's possible it was a drone as they are testing them in Oklahoma, although not scheduled to be anywhere near here.

I'm waiting for Google Drones taking map photos.

You can hang on to the UFO angle.. run with it.

Might be something to that.

I'm pretty tired and feel like DB Sweeney today.

FLIR Drone looking for attic based grow operations.

You will need to move your "home business" underground.  ;)

Did it resemble a conventional helicopter?

or a multiple rotor copter?

Homeland Security Wants To Double Its Domestic Drone Fleet

The wording "no oversight" jumped out at me.

I believe we have a drone manufacturing plant here in Tulsa.
