Night drone over Plymouth

Can it bring me my booze?

Channel 5 reported tonight that there are "1 million registered drones in the US". A quick online search says the number is anywhere from 800,000 to 1.7 million. And approximately 60 % are for recreational use, 40% for commercial use.

For some reason, some people are now noticing them and freaking out. But they're everywhere. Even here on my street in Dorchester, one neighbor has one he uses for real estate sales. Another neighbor's kid got one for Christmas a couple of years ago, which I discovered when the kid was retrieving it after it crashed in my yard.

I think we are in the middle of a mass hysteria event. But heck who knows, if Jewish space lasers are causing wildfires, and the government creates hurricanes, I guess it's possible that there is a giant Iranian mother ship with lots of smaller drones.

This has to be satire, right? Have people not seen commercial aircraft at night before?

Remember when panic spread in Boston when two artists placed dozens of devices as part of a guerrilla marketing campaign for Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Local law enforcement mistakenly identified these devices as IED's and the city was shut down.
