Mystery drone swarms over in the United States

“Weird and concerning”: Mystery drone sightings continue in Colorado, into Nebraska

Local and national authorities say they have no idea who is operating this band of large drones, reported to have six-foot wingspans and spend the nighttime hours flying in grid-like patterns.

Area survey/Multi-spectral analysis. Each drone has one or two sensors and the data are correlated in-situe or later. Drones follow a pattern or have some degree of freedom to converge faster to the distribution of target data.

Those sensors would be flown in daylight hours only, since multi spectral requires reflected light in this context.

If this is real (and it's totally doable with off the shelf equipment) I would be looking for someone doing thermal surveys.

There won't be many operators certified for evlos/bvlos at night (maybe none...). The swarming sounds like it is blown out of proportion, so start with those having the required exemptions from the FAA and go from there.

A swarm can be half a dozen of drones only. Each one having 4 to 8 engines spinning at high speed makes for a lot of noise that could multiply their perceived number in the dark.
Multi-spectral only need any spectrum per definition. That it be light, IR, UV, radioactive, reflexion of any impeged signal etc...

Phillips County Sheriff Thomas Elliot had no answer for where the drones come from or who they belong to, but he has 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."

Mysterious swarms of giant drones have started to appear in the Colorado and Nebraska night sky, and nobody knows where they're coming from

Swarms of giant drones have been flying above Colorado and Nebraska at night, perplexing both local law enforcement and the federal government.

This story has now been picked up more widely.

Mysterious swarms of giant drones have officials baffled

They show up the same time every night and then disappear three hours later.

Yeah, the BBC has it too. Just the same info rehashed and tied to the remote ID proposal from the FAA, which will probably be adopted in Europe.

A very large european defence aerospace firm has already got a 'credit card sized' solution to remote ID and data logging (including transmission of those data logs to a central repository for analysis) and will be pursuing it.

Looks like it’s being portrayed as a hoax of some kind now.

Pffft! Definitely new chem-trail delivery system.
