Misc. Has anybody spotted a drone hovering near or around the Cobblestone area tonight around 9:50? (7/22)
This is going to sound like a complete schizo post, but.
I’m on the side of the building at my job tonight and a dude on a scooter pulls up.
I’m kinda sketched out because I’m not in an area where a lot of people pass by at night and I am alone. So the dude starts asking me where the police department is and I’m trying to explain to him how to get to it, but he’s just passing by the area, so he doesn’t really get my directions very well.
Anyways, the dude starts explaining to me that a drone is following him and shooting pellets or BBs at him, and it almost made him crash. He then proceeds to point to what I immediately thought was a star. So I try telling the dude it’s a star, and at this point I’m a little freaked because I’m alone and this dude seems to be tweaking out on me. I mean, who the hell comes up to someone at night pointing at a star saying it’s following you and shooting at you. But the dude sounds completely calm, and seems so too. Doesn’t seem to be on drugs or having a mental episode.
So he leaves and I continue working, but then I realize that this is a bright ass star, no other star in the sky is nearly as bright as this one he pointed too. I looked back at it and I could swear it was in a different spot.
By 10:20 it ducks behind a tree. No way it could’ve been a star at this point, it definitely moved.
Weird ass situation but it’s worth asking because it was very strange to witness, and drones with airsoft guns hooked up to them DO exist, if someone’s really messing with people on the road it could really hurt someone.
