I can't say I'm surprised, this sort of thing is going to become pretty common place as drone technology becomes more accessible to the public, which brings up an important safety aspect in dealing with drones on aircraft flight paths. It will be interesting to see who was flying this drone and why.

It all began years ago when a camera was attached to a a D sized rocket motor attached to a rocket crafted by a kid in his backyard. I suspect you are right that more and more will be seen.

I flew my first free flight model plane (way before R/C came out) back in 1956.

It was fun to fly till one day it got caught up in a thermal layer over the Waco airport ... still don't know where it came down.

also I saw a sheriff out of Bolder, Colorado pull a drone out of the trunk of his car to track suspect illegal aliens on the run.

Someday even the smugglers will use them to drop the white powder stuff over the Rio Grand down Texas way ...

they could even use a drone to track the US Border Patrol to see where they before they cross the border.

This is the one I want to as soon as I can afford it that is: around $200 without engines or R/C controler

If the government doesn't then big business will...in fact the government will probably wind up having to buy or lease the information from big business eventually. That's just how the world is going, there is no way to stop this freight train.

You may be right but that is no reason to surrender to it.
