• Just how large is a predator drone?
• The MQ-1 Predator, which first flew in 1994 and entered service the following year. The Predator, with a length of 26 feet 8 inches (8 metres) and a wingspan of 41 feet 8 inches (12.5 metres), is powered by a piston engine driving a pusher propeller.
• No one knows where they are coming from.
• The Airfare says it isn’t them.
• The US Military says it isn’t them either. 
• Can you shoot down a drone as an American citizen?
• Will you get arrested for doing so?
• 209 members of the New Jersey legislature met and discussed it but still no one knows anything!
• Are they just flying randomly around the US or just this one state?
• Outside of an alien invasion, I have no idea what is going on out there in Jersey.
• It could very well be our own military. 
• It wouldn’t be the first time our government has lied to us.
• Why doesn’t some enterprising drone operator go to Jersey set up a base camp and send their drones up and take video?
• I can tell you my military isn’t making me feel very safe.
• If they don’t know what they are and where they came from, who does?
• Is this something, a set up here for the inauguration? 
• Is this someone pushing the envelope to see if you move this drone operation 300 miles South, move the operation farther South to see what happens?
• The FAA has rules on shooting down drones.
• I believe they said it would be a felony.
