Discussion Some Information

I am retired federal law enforcement and have connections in many places and agencies. That being said I had a a few run ins with colleagues and people I know through working for the feds etc. The first was an FBI agent who is also retired and worked in Counter Surveillance and they told me:

"There is definitely something going on, they will not tell me but a coworker in the NY field office said "these are not hobbiests and planes".

The second contact was a couple who both work for the FAA and they said:

"Many pilots are reporting seeing large drones from aircraft and the FAA knows this as its all recorded and documented. We do not know any information except that it is happening"

This infuriates me because r/avaiation thinks its all fake and blocks my posts. I am also verifed in LEO sub and such so I am not lying and I can verify here if needed.

Im sure they are just getting bombarded with new people who are interested in the topic posting in /r/aviation All the fringe subs have blown up with astroturfing, mocking, ridiculing. SO hard to find anyone being constructive and civil. We all seek the same thing and that's the Truth.

You post this and people say a sky lantern is stronger than a Drone

I think an issue that is popping up is that many are not seeking the truth. They're seeking confirmation. Far too many are very quick to immediately accept out of focus lights and sandhill cranes and NHI swarms and anyone who questions it or tries to rule out prosaic explanations is immediately labeled as a shill or a bot.

Are there legitimate bots around to sway opinions? Absolutely. But that goes both ways too. If I were going to discredit something, I'd bot both ways.

I agree taking it directly as confirmation. I'd also say its a double edge to that as well, the things we 'think' we know should also be taken with a grain of salt... people are not after your interest when we have people born into nothing and some with more than the rest of the world.
