  • Mysterious Drones Over Paris

    These auto-piloted vehicles have become a big game changer in the conduct of war. It looks like someone is casing out sensitive areas of France, like nuclear installations, the Eiffel Tower and the U.S. Embassy.
    A few weeks ago, when the nuke plants were overflown, Greenpeace was at the top of the list of possible suspects but now that is looking unlikely. The only way they're going to find out for sure is to intercept one so the next few weeks will be interesting. Where's Inspector Clouseau when you need him?

    Expect to see increasingly stringent regulations on these things in populated or sensitive areas. The potential danger they pose as a surveillance device or even a weapon will ultimately decide the way they are treated. It will just take one example and authorities the world over will get positively fascist about them.

      And getting fascist won't prevent anything illegal or dangerous,but it will ruin many economic benefits.

        What most news media don't mention is that apparently such drones were also sighted over the homebase of the French SSBN fleet. That's part of why the French government is a bit touchy about the subject, and probably why the whole thing is currently treated as something not worth attention in French media.
