Domestic drone sighting--Kansas City

JD Barleycorn's Avatar
Saturday night I was settling down to watch the road show production of "Spamalot" at Kansas City's Starlight Theater when I saw someone pointing. I spun around and spied a rotary unmanned vehicle orbiting behind us watching. It was the helicopter kind with a rotor span of about five feet. It was hovering less than a hundred feet off the ground as we prepared to sing the national anthem. Looked at the local news broadcast to see if they were doing some filming but no...

So who?

By "assuming" that it is the "government" watching you are contributing to the perception that the "government" IS WATCHING, and facilitating the "government's" presumed desire to regulate your behavior without the "government" doing anything, but creating the "fear" that the "government" can and does watch everything you do.

Probably just the Men In Black. Nothing to worry about.

what did you expect JD, after making the announcement that you were going to be at Starlight this weekend? ....you know they're watching you.
Did it stay for the whole performance? Some techy didn't want to sit with you. Had a camera and watched from home.
Was spamalot a political production?

RC airplanes and helicopters have been around for decades. The guy operating it could have been standing 100 yards away practicing his maneuvers.

No, this was no toy. A central, main rotor with articulating cameras underneath.
