Yep...I live near an Army post and they fly around at night. I have seen a couple during the day, but see more very very late at night flying out over the post and the mountains.

I've never seen it, but living as close to DC as I do, it wouldn't surprise me to be seeing them sometime in the very near future. Not sure I want one delivering my packages however!

Yea, I've seen the plane for google earth too. I remember it clearly{#emotions_dlg.laugh} I was in the pool in our backyard and a plane flew slowly by and much closer than usual planes, sure enough! On google earth, I'm seen floating in the pool{#emotions_dlg.w00t} My husband and I laughed so hard!!

But I haven't seen a drone.... yet.

I see so much news about drones that people use to look at real estate, or just to snoop on people and wondered if anyone has seen one. Can they be seen?

My yard is totally private, and I think nothing of going out in my nightwear or even taking off my shirt when sunning myself. But I guess I am not safe from visual invasion if people have cameras flying around in the sky. Do you think about it?

You are certainly correct on that point. Yes, I do think about them. I won't get into my beliefs on the subject.

No, I haven't seen one in person. This summer in YNP, close to where we live, a couple tourists flew them and one landed in a beautiful pool. To hiscredit, he reported it to the Forest Service. They can't get it out yet, and it is damaging the eco system in it. Both were fined. It is against the law in the park and is written in the literature they give you when you go in the gate.

Well, as long as we're fairly dressed when walking out back. (Swimsuit, etc.)
