A few weeks ago, I was in my backyard with some friends hanging out. We got on the topic of the nwo and all the conspiracies. After a few minutes we decided to stop talking about it, joking that "they" are listening in through our cellphones. A couple minutes after we heard a buzzing sound, it sounded like a goped motor but slightly lower in volume. when we looked up we saw a predator drone(not sure if that is the official name but it looked just like one except it was in black) flying right over our house. it even hovered over us for a few minutes. It seemed liek it was about 50 feet up and had a red light on as if it was recording. It creeped us out, because it could have just been patrolling the neighborhood but it also could have passed by to get us on file and determine if we were dangerous or "terrorists". Has anyone seen one around the neighborhood or had any weird experiences ...
do they appear frequently in new york? im visiting ny this summer so it would be cool to know when and where they usually appear so i can witness it myself
