The drone swarm phenomena is getting serious ..

That will reveal if they are a threat. If so, they can be shot down on sight.
On the news this evening, one of the New Jersey Sheriff's department sent up their own drone to try to get some answers. These are some of their conclusions:
  1. They can fly in stealth mode without their position lights illuminated, however because they are flying with their lights on, they want to be seen (or perhaps they don't want to violate any regulations)
  2. The Sheriff's Department's tactical drones are easily out-maneuvered by the mystery drones
  3. The Sheriff mentioned that their drones fly at 40 mph and that the mystery drones fly at 60 mph (I'm not sure how they know this but at least they sent something up to take a look).
Here's the news video:
What do we know about mystery drones flying over New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and other East Coast states?

I guess we need government to add regulations to Drone flying now?

Yeah, that's probably why they're flying them around anyway.

Sadly, the people will love them for some more government. By the looks of things, they're practically begging for it already, because uhscared.
 
They already have regulations

But woke Obama/Biden zombies at the FBI are too incompetent to enforce them
Why aren't the oversize drones registered, with required notification when they are going to fly?
 
You cant register a drone to fly after dark
Yes, you can register a drone to fly at night, but the key requirement is to equip your drone with proper anti-collision lights that are visible for at least three statute miles, allowing you to fly at night without needing a separate waiver under most circumstances; however, you still need to comply with all other FAA regulations regarding airspace authorization and visual line of sight when flying at night.

Key points about flying a drone at night:
  • No separate waiver needed:
    As of April 2021, you don't need a specific waiver to fly your drone at night if you meet the anti-collision light requirements.

  • Anti-collision lights mandatory:
    Your drone must have visible anti-collision lights that can be seen from at least three statute miles away.

  • Airspace authorization still needed:
    Even with proper lights, you may still need airspace authorization to fly in controlled airspace at night.

  • Part 107 compliance:
    All night flying operations are governed by Part 107 regulations, which includes the requirement to be a certified remote pilot.

Yes there are different rules for professional grade drones

Including requirements for identification signals
that allow authorities to pinpoint who is controlling them from the ground

But our current Keystone Cops FBI and now the FAA are proving to be quite worthless
 
Hysteria, panic and mob mentality in the United States, the new normal, welcome to planet of the trumpanzees.

Who cares about a bunch of lights in the sky? be sensible.
 
My guess is all those things are somehow holographic or the US Space Force showing off, giving everybody something to talk about.
 
You gonna hafta get really close with that. A few feet max.
Yeah, but it can be tweeked and extended easily since it's electronic.
You just have to be a "deadeye" shot with it.

Either that, or have potato launchers or net cannons.

You would think a news helicopter would go up and take a look at one of them. Or maybe the military could send up one of their observation drones, or maybe a military helicopter. Or maybe send up a military radar plane that can track anything flying below it. Just some thoughts from the cheap seats.

Your picture is of a Russian AWACs aircraft, not a USA/USAF one;
