About drones, drone technology and the use of drones for spying, surveillance, military combat and police work
A UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) or drone is an unmanned flying object that is remotely controlled by someone at another place. The controle can be at the detailled level, so that the operstor actually is stearing the object along the path. The drone may however also operate automatically so that the controle is performed on a superior level.
Drone architecture, propulsion and stearing technology
Drones can be tiny like a small bird, or great like an airplane. They are made in many shapes. Some resamble and fly like airplanes and helicopters. Others are roundish, triangular, donut shaped, egg shaped or made to resamble birds or lately even insects. There also exist corresponding objects to be used under water and are shaped like small submarines or made to resamble fishes.
Larger dones are usually driven by turbine motors or by propellars powered by turbine motors, while smaller and light drones are typically electrically driven, with the electricity originating from solar cell panels or batteries. Meny drones are held aloft and steared by wing constructions like an airplane. Many modern drones operate like helicopters, even that they do not always look like helicopters.
Drones that are meant to hover in longer periods are often made as a sort of airship or blimp and held aloft because they contain gas lighter than air. These drones will typically have a certain volume. Drones of this type that are meant to be hovering permanently in a height above that any airplane uses, and driven by electricity from solar panel coverings, are under construction or are possibly already launched. They are used for wide area surveillance.
Drones are controlled by signals from a controle radio unit and a radio uinit in the drone that resceives controle signals and sends back status data. For drones operated at a short distance, the signalling can be directly from the controle unit and the resceiving radio unit in the drone. When the drone is operated at greater distance, some kind of link must be used between the end point. The linking unit can be a satellite or it can be another drone that positiones itself between the end points. Also the radio networks of the military or the police can be used as madiators of controle signals. For sivil drones ordinary telecommunication networks can be used, even mobile telephone networks. Probably telecommunication operators will offer drone controle networks as a separate commercial service in the near future.
Drones are steadily more comnstructed as VTOL vehicles and work much like helicopters as this missile-carrying surveillance-combat drone (Schiebel S-100)(a free picture from Wikipedia):
Are some drones powered by secret UFO-like physical principles?
Credible reports of UFOs have been coming forth at regular intervals since the early 1950es. These UFOs reportedly are capable of flying at an incredible speed without making a devastating friction against the air, capable of hovering extremely high and act like vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) vehicles. They often emit a lot of light when they are highy active. They usually are reported to be disk-like, oval, triangular or cigar-chaped. A common belief is that these vehicles are conducted by extraterrestrial beings.
But another solution to the riddle is that these vehicles are made here on Earth an operated by secret agencies of various kind, and are using some secret physical propulsion principle. These propulsion principles need not be very complicated, only different and kept secret from the ordinarty public. Possibly the propulsion is based on so-called cold fusion, a fenomenon that must be regarded as proven, but has shown to be difficult to utilize in the publicly known projects trying to do so. But the fenomenon has probably been known in secret research institutes for several decades and these probably have had enough funds to make something useful from it. Also other physical principles might be on work, however. In either case, some kind of fusion, provides enough energy to let the vehicles operate this way.
Germany was perfoming projects on vehicles with UFO-like shapes and partially driven by althernative energies, according to historical sources, already before World War II, and throughout the war, but one did not manage to make these vehicles practically useful. The projects were surely taken over both by USA, UK, Canada and the Soviet Union after the war an probably continued secretly. These secret projects may have produced both dones and secret manned vehicles and these may be repored as UFOs.
There is an interesting recent report from Iran about drones surveiling their terriotory, capable of speed up to 10000 km/h, capable of operating as VTOL vehicles and of hovering over the atmosphere. When trying to hunt the drones with fighters, the drones just flew away, and in one instance made the hunter explode. But one of these drones reportedly crashed, and Iran was able to identify it as something made in the USA.
The use of drones, including domestic spying and surveillance, military combat, transport and resque
Instances using drones are military bodies, national police units, local police units, private companies, scientific research organisations, resque units, border controle units and possibley child protective agencies. Drones seem also the be used in combination with senders and locator chips mounted on persons, animals and vehicles or even secretly installed in persons by surgery.
The most frequent use of drones is for surveillance, search and scientific measurements: Armed drones for military combat are in daily use and often get big headlines. Drones can also be used for transport of several items and resque operations. The use of drones for transport is increasing, and some time into the near future, drones will be used for deliverance of leight cargo, post and intems like warm pizzas.
In many countries surveillance drones are now a part of daily life, but they are generally operated out of sight and camouflaged so that you do not so easily spot them. Many of these drones are used by the military for border controle, but most of them are probably used by regular and special police forces to surveil vehicle traffic and the daily life of people in both urban and rural areas. During nights drones are often lit up to make other air trafficants keep away and to make it more easy for the operators to see them, but preferably only a short time, or you can see light from the power source. Sometimes the drones use spotlights for observations and are recognized by this.
Steadily more police forces are equipped with armed drones to be used to controle crowds and to incapacitate people they are hunting for one reason or another.
The use of advanced drones for surveillance has been with us since at least the early fifties, but for very long they were expensive and therefore not so numerous. By now drones are cheap, and most instances can afford to buy an advanced surveillance drone. This has caused an exponatial increase in the use of drones the last years. Many UFO observations are actually observations of droes.
Drone surveillance technology
Techically observations made by drones are achieved in several ways.
- Drones can carry antenas to take up radio-born communications, often combined with equipment to decode the signals.
- They can carry antennas to take up signals from installed locators or chips operated into individuals.
- They typically carry cameras that can take pictures and videos based on visible light or on infrared radiation. They also carry spotlights based on emittamce of both visible light and infrared light,
- They can carry microphones able to focus upon sound from specific spots, like for example conversations.
Drones can also carry equipment that makes it possible to see through walls or down into the ground. This technology is mostly based on radar waves that are sendt against the target and penetrates it, and are then reflected back from structures inside the target. By analyzing the degree of reflection and the time it takes to reflect back, or using certain type of radar wave lenses, a picture about the inside can be made.
The way these capabilities are typicaly used, is by first using a wide angle observation, often from high altitude and long distance, and if something interesting is detected, one will focus upon the point where the sight or signal is located and possibly the drone will also approach
Drone weapon technology
Dones can carry weapons like guns, missiles and bombs. Since a drone can quietly approach a target and aim at short distance, the weapons need not be very big to be lethal. Drones are however steadily more often equipped with more futuristic weapon technology.
Drones can be equipped with guns that shoote doses of anesthetic medication to stop people or animals that one is hunting or equipment for spreading anesthetic gasses in a croad.
Another such technology uses radio waves of specific frequencies that disturbe or even knock out electronic circuits or jam communication. In this way they can be used to make technical target units incapable of functioning.
Another possible and even more secret techology implies sending out radio wave frequencies that disturbe the function of the brains and nervous systems of targeted persons or animals. Such disturbances can be made blatant so that the target is simply paralyzed, or be more subtle so that the target behaves irrationally, gets irrational ideas or takes irrational decisions.
Technology that sends out microwaves that warm up the skin of the target so that it causes intensive pain, or even heats the target to death is allready used by police forces around the world. This kind of weapon is described in open sources and certain police units admit to have them. Possibly this kind of weapon is far more widespread that admitted and they are possibly installed in drones, but probably only in bigger drones, since the weapon requires a strong energy source.
Drones are also perfect tools to spread out poisens and viruses at specific targets without contaminating wider areas, and one must reackon that such technology is developed and is present, but we do not know how widespread it is, and what strategy there is for the use of such weapons. The use of biological weapons are also illegal according to international treaties several nations have signed, but that does not give any secure guarantee against the use of such weapons.
Drones and society
As by 2014 the American government has around 10000 operative drones, and in addition private institutions also have a significant number. The situation is probably analogeous in other countries. One must presume that all the governmental and private institutions are using and steadily more will be using drones for operations they traditionally do when drones are suitable equipment, and for operations they whishes to do, but could not do so easily before withouty drones. That means that all instances that have some kind of surveillance duties, or aim to surveil, are now using drones to surveil urban areas, properties, natural areas and individual persons and families, and use them in all kind of inestigative activities.
Quite many instances surveil ordinary families and their properties more or less legally in any society. This means that you, your children, your vehicles and your properties are rutinously seuveiled more or less intimately by drones, and those doing it are bodies like: the police, the child protective agencies, local administration, social services, insurance companies, the health care system, research institutions, the electricity company, fire brigades and so on.
But then one will ask: why do we not see the drones? Well, mostly these drones are operated secretly and most often at some distance, but they will approch ocationally, even to your bedroom or bathroom windows. In spite of this clandestine way of operation, they are seen, steadily more often, but usually mistaken as somethinhg else and reported or spoken about as UFOs. Reports of small UFOs lurking around over towns, villages and neighbourhoods are growing exponentially. Reports about strange small flying birds or animals are also proliferating, and many of these are probably caused by drones.
Also drones steadily more often fall down due to failure, crash into buildings or vehicles or downright cause serious accidents. Usually these incidents are hushed down, but they begin to appear in the news media. By searching the internet you easily find reports of drones crashing into houses, colliding with cars, fall down upon crouds of people, fall down on schoolyards, or colliding with aircrafts. The numbeAs by 2014 the American government has around 10000 operative drones, and in addition private institutions also have a significant number. The situationr of incidents with drones near up to people and children, give a clear indication that drones are used to surveil persons ant their individual activities.
History of drones - How long have the drones been flying around us?
Since many governmental instances have a clear incitement to use drones, one can presume that drones have been flying above and around us as long as it has been technically possible. On prerequisite for using a drone is electronic stearing through radio wave transmission. This necessity has been possible to fulfill from the 1930es, when the first remote controle vehicles were invented. To use a drone at a distance, one must also have cameras on board the drone that takes up pictures of the surroundings, radio transmission of the pictures coded in a suitable way and some sort of monitor where the pictures can be seen, in other words wireless video transmission. That has also been technically possible from the 1930es when the first regular TV sendings took place, but the equipment was very expensive, heavy and clumpsy the frist years. In the late 1940es and early 1950es the TV transmission technology had come so far that it was possible to mount the camera in a flying vehicle.
One must therefore conclude that secret drones have been with us since the early 1950es but that they were so big and expensive that only governmental bodies with a huge budged could afford them, which means the military, certain secret services and certain research organizations. But as the technology develped drones of all sizes and prize tags have been developed and taken in use steadily more. If one takes as a premise that most UFO observations really are observation of drones, the UFO history can be regarded in a larg extent as the history of drones.

ABOUT CROP CIRCLES - a blending of a natural phenomenon, simple hoaxes and advanced hoaxes made with drone technology
Crop circles are regular geometrical patterns that can occur in crop fields or grasslands. Within the patterns the plants are laid down in specific directions. The plants will often be sharply bent or halfway broken at a specific point near the ground. At this point the stalk can look more or less exploded or scorched as by heat.
The patterns typically consist of circles, rings, bows or other curved figures laid out in a symmetrical manner and often connected with each other. The whole pattern can be small or large, 5-50 meter in diameter, and sometimes very complicated. Since they first gained broad public attention, they have grown in complexity, and each year seems to have its own fashion regarding geometrical pattern. They are usually produced during the night. They are seen all over the World, but the south of United Kingdom seems to show the highest frequency of this phenomenon.
Many of them have been revealed as hoaxes made by groups of people walking coordinated in the fields with planks under their feet, but not all of them can easily be explained this way.
Whatever causes them, there always seems to have been some force rotating or sweeping in a specific direction and thereby breaking and pressing the plants down. Sometimes people have seen light balls hovering over a place where crop circles have been found afterwards. Sometimes local stormy weather with swirling winds and heavy rain have occurred at the time of formation. Crop circles also tend to form at areas with underground waterways. Here are some possible explanations apart from the obvious hoaxes already mentioned:
Under certain physical conditions, a swirling wind may become stable and then spawn secondary swirls in a regular geometrical pattern, which again can spawn tertiary swirls so that you get a fractal structure of vortexes in the air with interconnections. At the bottom of these vortexes, the plants will be pressed down by the rotating air. Such swirls will also tend to contain electrical gradients that cause discharges, so that they can be seen as lightballs. Such discharges can possibly also cause internal explosions and scorching at specific points in the stalks of the plants.
Temperature gradients or gradients of electric charge from the soil up to some altitude in the air can possibly provide the energy for such swirls. If the energy in the gradient is released smoothly, air will be set in regular circular motion. Small sidewinds from such a vortex will trigger energy to be released in nearby places so that daughter swirls are created.
Another mechanism of formation can occur if the temperature at a spot in the ground is very different from that in the air and surrounding areas. Air will be heated or cooled over that spot. This will cause a wind up from this spot or down towards the spot and air to blow along the ground towards or from that spot. Such winds will always cause the air to swirl at the central point and regularly spaced vortexes in the area around.
Then you have the possibility that the circles are hoaxed, but with sophisticated technology, for example by drones that one lets fly over the fields, or by robotic ground vehicles set down by a drone. The drone or vehicle will move along in a specific preprogrammed geometrical pattern and press the plants down. If the drones used are of the vertical take off and landing type, they will blow air downwards and press the plants down this way. Drones can of course also carry specifically designed tools that force the plants to bow down and lie.
Some private persons or clubs with a solid budget could carry out this activity just for fun or because they get economical gain from visiting spectators or from selling books and films, and farmers may get paid for allowing crop circles to be made in their fields. But you also have the possibility that certain governmental, military or research organizations secretly make crops circles for various purposes.
One purpose of such organizations can be a large scale psychological and cultural experiment. Another purpose can be to create a certain structure in the psychology and culture of people that makes people more easy to lead and manipulate.
A purpose can also be to turn the attention of especially curious individuals away from certain governmental activities over to something that will occupy their curiosity more or less permanently and lead it astray.
Probably the crop circles were originally only a natural phenomenon that local people kept wondering about without a broader public being aware of them. But eventually a broader international public got interested in the phenomenon and speculations that these could be caused by extraterrestrials with important messages for us began to occur.
At this point, individuals, clubs and governmental institutions got the idea that they could secretly make their own crop circles in order to use the public attention for own purpose and gain. By now we probably have a situation where several instances of various kind compete with steadily more sophisticated technology about making steadily more spectacular crop circles, and with embedded messages with steadily stronger psychological effects. Those doing this may operate lonely, but have a mutual gain from the activity of other crop circle makers. And of course the natural phenomenon still occurs.
As already mentioned, many believe that extraterrestrial beings produce the phenomenon in order to signal their presence and leave certain important messages to be interpreted by humans. This explanation may not be impossible. But there is very little within the phenomenon that cannot be explained as natural processes or as the result of human activity with varying degree of technical sophistication, from the quite simple to state of the art drone technology.
