Reminds me of quite a few years ago when drones were extremely popular and they were everywhere. People were flying them into people's backyards and just being annoying, this is not New Jersey either, but people started shooting them out of the sky. Drone owners would try and sue the people shooting them down, but the judges would throw it out. So, people stopped flying them in people's yard at low levels that they could be shot with shotguns. I'm not suggesting that's what people should do, especially in highly populated areas, that would be pretty dangerous, it just brought that memory back.

True, it does seem like I hear about them less these days from their initial popularity.

There seems to be many reports of large drones too, doesn’t seem to fit the average citizen drones from recent years? Not confident here though.

Purely speculative, but I find it interesting China has made recent news for their significant drone demonstrations, and they were also the owners of the balloon that crossed the US too.

I know absolutely nothing of drone technology, not even going to lie. It just seems if the authorities or even the citizens were that worried about it, they have to land somewhere at sometime. Follow them to the source? Maybe even with another drone?

I’m really tempted to buy a drone to spy on the other drones, but also scared that they would all follow me home
