In as much as I believed and have been writing articles about drone birds, I have to be honest and sincere, I did think that some people were just over exaggerating when it came to how concerned we should be about being surveilled by drones. Seriously in my mind, there is almost no way every single bird is a drone and no way the government actually watches us through a fake birds without us spotting it. But the question is, did you really think you saw what you saw?
A video appeared in my YouTube feed and I literally had my hand on my chin while trying to digest what I was watching.
This drone looked exactly like an eagle. When it fly to a certain distance, if I had not watched the beginning I would most certainly think it's an eagle.
The way it flapped its wings, flew sideways, and glided with a small turn as it changed direction. At any distance from you, you'd reach for your phone, thinking you were capturing a piece of nature. It's only when it gets closer then you can tell it's not a real eagle.
Somewhere in that moment, something inside of me began to really change. It wasn't a moment of panic, though we should really be concerned. More of a subdued, subtle sense of loss that the sky, of all places, has lost its sanctity.
The blurred line between real and man made is so almost gone now that it cannot even be described, someone has created an item so like a bird and so difficult for my brain to recognize as man made. You see a plane from any distance you can tell. So what happens when they start using synthetic skin and making the sound more natural. Another question is, have they already done it and we don't know?
The future is apparently above us, just beyond our grasp. Hope to God some narcissistic world leader doesn't start a drone war. These bird drones will be a huge threat.
So now you must ask yourself whether that beautiful eagle outside your window is hungry or has 25 minutes of battery power left.
