Speaking of drones, a bunch of mysterious drones have been spotted swarming the same areas of the U.S. and nobody knows where they are coming from. Who is flying them, where are they coming from and what’s going to be done about them?
Are aliens among us?
It’s been more than 70 years since the alleged UFO sighting at Roswell. Seven decades have gone by and people are still looking to the skies in hopes of spotting alien life.
Well, this story might keep those hopes alive.
Frightened citizens have been reporting to local officials that they’ve been spotting groups of drones flying across Colorado and Nebraska over the past few weeks. The sightings usually occur between 7 and 10 p.m.
Officials told the Denver Post that most reports claim the drones fly in groups of six to 10 and hover a couple of hundred feet in the air. The reports have been confirmed by local and federal authorities.

But here’s the thing, no one seems to know where the drones are coming from and nobody has come forward to claim responsibility.

I’m sure you can understand why people are a little uptight about the situation.

At this point, all they can do is try to find out who is behind the drones. The good news is they don’t appear to have malicious intent. Up until now, they’re just causing some locals to panic. If we hear any changes we’ll let you know ASAP. Keep checking in with Komando.com for updates.
