There have been a few encounters that high around here in the last couple of months. People flying those and/or using lasers should be severely punished.
Laser idiot arrested.

Cicero said the pilots initially thought the object looked like a balloon, but after debriefing, they believe it could have been a drone.
Whatever happened to UFOs, anyway? :p
We've given up calling them UFOs... people used to drone on and on about them. :)
