High-performance hobbyist drones are approaching UFO levels of performance.[1] Top speed of that one is well over 400MPH. One of those will cost you maybe US$8000. The triangular craft seen buzzing US Navy ships off the coast of California look a lot like those.

There's a huge range of remote controlled aerial vehicles you can buy now.

400 mph is way off from 40000mph, which is one of the speed estimates from an encounter.

My pet theory is that the UAP footage we've seen from the last few year is actually sensor warfare, i.e. spoofing


Speed is extremely easy to mistake if you have in your head that you're expecting objects of the size piloted by humans. Further if you're not triangulating the distance, any claims of speed are just pure nonsense.


Riiight, so the US military is unaware of the capabilities of drones, and also can't accurately say that UFOs appear to hit 40,000 MPH


UAPs have been seen since the 80s with the same unbelievable flight characteristics. They're not drones, at least not ours.
