British Police Unveil UFO Drone

Take a look at this story and photograph from the British Daily Express newspaper, which is a link to an article on a new “drone” device being used by the British Police Force.

Doubtless, when this thing starts flying around it will lead to yet more UFO sightings…

Some very strange things are afoot in the UK with regard to state-surveillance…

I’m all for cleaning up crime, but there is absolutely no doubt that there are those in positions of power that simply want to know what we are up to, where, and when, at all times; and for no good reason than they think they have a right to know.

They don’t.

The fine line between acceptable monitoring of certain criminal elements of society and widespread surveillance of the population by meddling, Orwellian types needs to be kept in very careful check, lest things end up like some nightmarish Big Brother society.

Couldn’t happen? Oh yes it could.

People need to stand up for their rights; and don’t be afraid if you see one of these new contraptions flying overhead. Just look up, smile, and give it the finger.

    Nick, the horrendous joke about all this surveillance malarchy is if Thatcher’d tried out even a fraction of this sort of thing, Labour’d've been screaming blue murder from the rafters - which is probably exactly why it’s slipped so easily under the radar.

    What makes it doubly worse, though, is the sort of people it’s supposed to be aimed at are precisely the sort of people who’ll know how to evade it, or even use it to their advanatge.

    Yet what makes it unspeakably worse is our UK masters and betters’ve just voted themselves the right to exclude themselves from precisely the sort of public scrutiny they expect everyone else to submit to!

    Talk about some equals are more equal than others!

    wow, that reminds me of the Wurtsmith nuclear storage story here in Michigan.

    The more disturbing thing is that this “flying cop” will not just record potential criminal activity (nothing wrong with that - providing it’s real, hard criminal activity and not just someone driving 3 miles over the speed limit, etc); but that it is also going to be used to record “anti social” behaviour.

    Who decides what is “ant-social”? I took part in a lot of organised demos in the UK to legitimately protest at various things for years (animal rights etc).

    Is some scum politician going to say that the right to demonstration is anti-social? You can bet they are. In fact, they already are.

    At the risk of sounding like a rabid conspiracy theorist (rather than a standard conspiracy theorist LOL), I see steps being taken to have a whole society that doesn’t question things; that is told what is good for it; of a government that wants us to think it knows what is right for us; and where if you ask awkward questions you are perceived as a trouble-maker whose actions make you justifiably ripe for official surveillance.

    It’s all rubbish of course. And what will happen is exactly what happened re the Poll Tax riots, the Miner’s Strike etc: push the British people a bit, and they’ll discuss things with their mates over a pint in the pub. Push them a bit more and there will be demos, etc. Push them even further and it will be exactly like the Miner’s Strike and the Poll Tax Riots: people won’t stand for their lives being messed around with like this, and they will stand up and there will be a huge backlash.

    Or they shouldn’t stand for it, if they want to hang on to their civil liberties.

    When I was flying out of Los Angeles (Burbank) on May 8th, 2007, at around 4:30 PM, the Griffith Park fire had just broken out. I looked out the airplane window as we were banking out of The Valley, and I saw a UFO right beneath the plane. The body of the UFO was exactly like that of this British drone, and about the same size. I couldn’t see propellers but it is possible that they were moving and therefore somewhat invisible to the eye. My UFO seemed to have little triangular stabilizer wings as well. I have been told that they use the drones to track the infrared of ongoing fires…Andy Colvin

    Andy:

    Although I am a firm believer in a genuinely unexplained UFO issue, I am equally convinced that a number of significant reports are due to prototype vehicles that we are flying.

    Greg Bishop’s Project Beta makes that point perfectly, and discusses cases from nearly 30 years ago; so it’s quite plausible that we (humans, I mean) are flying lots of exotic-looking systems and platforms nowadays.

    Looks like it would be pretty easy to shoot out of the sky.:-)

  7. Greg Taylor Says:

    Ah, it gladdens my heart to see you angry about this Nick! The quite significant problem between the current situation, and the Poll tax etc, is that this time politicians have leverage - fear. All these unsavoury moves are being implemented with the explanation of fighting ‘terror’. Never mind the fact that there is more risk of dying in a car crash than in a terrorist event. Just scare the shit out of everyone, and have some Orwellian fun!

    What would be nice for a change is to see government being proactive, rather than this reactionary crap. People commit crimes for reasons, not because they are the devil’s spawn incarnate upon the Earth. Deity forbid we should address those issues instead.

    Hopefully the drone will one day crash, perhaps right beside a school, and there’ll be inquiries as to why they’re flying this thing around creating public danger…
    ;)

    Kind regards,
    Greg

    Lesley:

    A catapault would probably work too!

  9. Nick Redfern Says:

    Greg:

    Totally agree. Fear is the controlling factor. Sadly, it works.
