Mysterious possible drone sightings across the East Coast have prompted calls to shoot down the unidentified aircraft. But shooting at drones is dangerous, illegal and may bring unintended consequences.

The military, Congress and local officials don't know what they are but MSM knows they're drones? When Wright-Patterson Airbase, one of the most highly protected bases in the US cannot stop an incursion, they shouldn't be called "Drones".

Also, shooting at the orion belt would be sort of pointless. The closest star is 800 light years away. At 800 m/s for a bullet, vs 300,000,000 m/s for light, it will take 300,000,000 years for the bullet to get there. I'll be well dead by then.

there are unintended consequences for not letting the people know what’s going on. It’s also super funny you said “Unintended Consequences” when speaking of guns….. has anyone else read the book of the same title by John Ross?
