Anyone in Northeast Colorado seeing drones at night?
A number of individuals, including LEO, have reported seeing large drones flying at night in Northeast Colorado. Curious if anyone on RP has encountered any UAS squadrons.
Just guessing due to the location of the sightings and proximity to Schriever AFB and the base mission seems likely that a secondary GPS system may be in the works.
As well the Air Force has been experimenting with drone swam technology for awhile.

Just because the government claims to not know anything about them doesn't mean that they don't. MANY government assets are developed in secret, including in secret locations.

It would be an interesting way of transporting narcotics as I feel it would be hard to track down the owner. Even if you could it would hard to determine who was piloting the drone. FAA is looking into tracking drones. Betting these are belong to either a secret squirrel or a cartel.

The F.A.A. Wants to Start Tracking Drones’ Locations
A proposal would require most drones flying in American airspace to include technology that would allow the government to keep tabs on them.

Remember all the mania about UFOs out west that turned out to be F-117s? Years ago but still relevant. DARPA and the rest are pretty secretive. Workers commute by plane from Vegas on a daily basis.
