if they were iran's drones or anybody else's i i i just i just felt compelled to do my first my first ever tech talk video ever um and and this this happened but i just wanted to just tell people that you know these drones are here um they're there to do a job and and and that's it and the federal government's not going to tell you any of us ever what they're actually doing you know
It is. We have radioactive material sniffers on our unmanned aircraft. That's absolutely a capability of an unmanned aircraft. And if you look at what these drones are doing, they seem to be, there is some conflicting stories, but they seem to be trying to follow, you know, the FAA guidelines. They have nav lights on them.
You know, if they had a nefarious intent, then they wouldn't have nav lights on them. But they're concerned about obviously hitting other manned aircraft in such a busy airspace area. But it is a very successful operation or a very successful capability to be able to detect gases or other materials on the ground.
We have what we call methane detection systems where we mount them on our unmanned aircraft and we fly along pipelines and we can very accurately pick out pretty much almost 100% of every single gas leak. Now, these drones are flying at night because they seem to be flying undercover and they do not want their...
the shape of the drone to be well known because then you can track down what manufacturer is actually producing the aircraft. Right. So they seem to be following some rules. Uh, they're flying at night.
There's no reason really to be flying an unmanned aircraft at night, unless you're, unless you have a very specific purpose, because with a standard camera on a drone, you can't see anything at night unless you're using thermal optics or, you know, some form of sensor like that. Um, They're flying at night also because the winds are down. They're not as aggressive as they are during the day.
So, you know, you would get a much more accurate reading at night when you're trying to smell chemicals or some type of gas.
Most of the videos that I have seen are not – really very helpful in trying to determine who the very specific manufacturer is. There are some photographs and videos out there of drones flying that it's like, yeah, well, we know who that is, right? But I couldn't really give a definitive answer on who specifically is the manufacturer of that aircraft.
I just couldn't give you a very accurate assessment on that. But I do very firmly believe that these are absolutely not nefarious and from another country without us knowing the reason behind those aircraft. And there's a lot of them. It's an FAA monumental event for the FAA to give authorization to all of these.
The videos that I'm seeing, I'm seeing dozens. So that would be, again, a monumental event to authorize that many aircraft to fly over a populated area. That's just not something the FAA typically allows. Is it possible that most of these are manned aircraft? I do believe there's a mix. I believe that some folks are out there.
I've seen some thermal imaging where people have actually shot videos of –
aircraft that they thought were drones and they actually turned out with the heat signatures they actually turned out to be uh to man to be manned aircraft so there is a mix there's a mix of multi-copters which are the vertical takeoff type drones like you know quadcopters you get at best buy but only much larger and then there's also a mixture of fixed wing aircraft that i've that i've been able to see
No, I think that people are going absolutely crazy over this thing because of the huge unknown. And if you see in the video, I said this has the potential to be what it actually could be. I know that makes really doesn't make a lot of sense.
But, you know, the potential is if this is a worst case scenario, then I felt compelled, you know, to really just say, hey, look, wait, time out, everybody, time out. These are not nefarious. In my eyes, they're not nefarious. And I went over on the second and third video, I went over technically why they're not coming out of the water.
They're not coming off of a large vessel off the coast unless they're a certain type of drone. But I didn't want to spread fear and panic. I just wanted to give a technical expert's perspective you know, opinion on why they are not something that you really need to be concerned about as far as really nefarious intent.
It's actually what they're looking for that I think is what we should be concerned about. You know, so again, as I'd stated before, there's no reason for all of these drones to be flying in this pattern with this many aircraft out there
There's no real reason for that unless you're very specifically looking for something, and that something has to be so damned important that you're going to cause a nationwide or now a worldwide crisis. hysteria, you know, so I mean, I'm just doing the math. You know, we know that these nuclear warheads came up missing in the 80s. We know that. We know they're out there.
They're all over the world. We don't know where the hell they are, right? We know that they're here. We know that we have some here. That's been talked about for years. So I'm just doing the math. The drones have a very specific reason and it better be a very specific
good reason to cause all of this panic you know in the united states to be flying these drones out there so again what they're looking for i think has to be very important and i don't know if it's radioactive i can't say that you know specifically
I am not an expert, but I've been on the phone with a lot of people here lately. And they had one really nice lady said that they probably have U-2 spy planes that were specifically designed – you know, to be searching for this stuff. But I don't know if they would leave some type of a radioactive snail trail.
