That looks like a Predator drone. Predator drones do NOT fly that low to the ground.

I can be a bit biased when reading posts or watching vids like this, but how is no one questioning how fake it looks? Why fly so far under cloud-cover? To make it easier to spot? lol. Seems like an opportune time to randomly film the sky as well...
All in all, I hope it's fake, but I'm sure it's an eventuality at this point in our society...

But everyone will think those RC planes are government drones and nobody will even complain. Perfect time to build one now. Retrofit it with RC paintball guns and chase people around.

Where does the need for surveillance drones end? I mean it is not impossible to imagine smaller drones being invented, that can look through your windows and follow you around. These security measures are not a passing fad, they allow a precedent for just more intrusive security measures.
I don't believe there is a need for surveillance drones. Maybe in a war scenario, but there should be no need for this in a civilised society.
It has a Panopticon effect.
The Panopticon is a type of institutional building designed by English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in the late eighteenth century. The concept of the design is to allow an observer to observe (-opticon) all (pan-) inmates of an institution without them being able to tell whether or not they are being watched.Bentham himself described the Panopticon as "a new mode of obtaining power of mind over mind, in a quantity hitherto without example.

I have no idea what kind f plane it is.
It just passed over again. I hear it. But didn't see it through my trees. Possibly headed another direction.

It's very difficult to tell from your video. It look like a comercial airliner, from what I saw, but your interpretation suggests something more unusual?

I showed my brother. He is in ROTC and knows a lot about military planes.
He said it was either a c-7 or c-17
I'm going to upload a snapshot of a video. I zoomed the snapshot and retook it.
