The future of military tech is supposedly hypersonic missiles, stealth drones and suicide drones. I'm going with large-scale air force experiments with a new line of drones, possibly with a 'psy-op' angle. While the Democrats sabotage everything possible for the upcoming Orange-Man-Bad presidency (such as selling off portions of the border wall), they want to distract people with 'mysterious' unidentified aerial phenomena.
There be aliens/Iranian motherships launching drone squadrons/Chinese stealth balloons afoot.
(I haven't really spent much thought on this. In case you haven't noticed. ;) )
No, dickheads have been flying around and through airport airspace and intersecting approach and departure paths.
If they were actually following the airspace and altitude restrictions it wouldn't be a problem, but near misses or damage from hitting drones have been reported fairly frequently, and if they did this shit and got sucked into an engine even a small drone would severely fuck a turbine.
Now, drone operators DELIBERATELY hitting planes is a much bigger threat and remote ID wouldn't be installed on something built for that purpose.
