I recently received links to the photos herein from fellow blogger, Nona, over at Fish Wars on Cars of strange things spotted in the sky over her neck of the woods lately.

Before we freak and seek government protection from whatever it is in our skies, relax. Frightened is exactly what the government likely wants us to be. While the strange writing under the wing doesn't appear to be Islamic in origin, it does bear resemblance to what some might imagine as "alien" or outer spacey shit. Oooh, that's almost as frightening as an Al Qaeda aircraft, right?

But relax. What these are, are likely examples of your tax dollars at work - drones; the latest government surveillance vehicles in their arsenal of "population maintenance" and crowd control. After all, the '08 presidential Republican and Democratic conventions are just around the corner. With polls indicating extreme public displeasure with both parties, it appears likely there will be need to conduct such traditional conventions (aka these days as "charades") beneath an umbrella of extreme security.

Enter the "alien" drones. For really unruly populations, there is probably optional accessories deployable on these such as rubber bullets, tear gases, auditory and laser beam incapacitators. For the really, really rowdy mobs, small nuclear devices will likely be an option as well.

So no need to panic should we spot one of these in the skies over our heads, for they are most likely just the latest government protection being extended to us all; coming to a neighborhood in your area soon! After all, we're way beyond "1984".
