    These are drones with 6-foot span, not the regular recreational drones, and they are reported to by flying in a sort of a grid, and on a regular schedule, as well as flying near people and buildings.

    I'm surprised that some of the rural population hasn't opened fire on 'em. :D

    Trump's guys ? ? More likely it is Colorado Governor Pelosi oops Polis (who bought the governorship with 23 million of his own dollars and voted the way Pelosi told him to) and the now Democrat controlled Colorado legislature who are keeping track of the lives of Colorado citizens. Or, maybe they are trying to find the illegal marijuana fields so they can collect more taxes.

    The Air Force Academy has over 500 drones (check out their Christmas drone show on YouTube). Maybe they're having training maneuvers in Nebraska?

    There are lots of YouTube videos about these drones, and so far, they either do not know who is doing it, or they do know and are not saying. Obviously, it can’t be some secret training mission very well, since the whole state (and most of America) has now heard about this activity. The reports say that the drones are flying in formation, and there are a lot of them; so it is not just a few people who got a drone for Christmas out there flying them together.
    These people have experience in order to do flying formation with that many drones.

    The news has had reports for at least the last week of this happening, and apparently there is even a facebook page for it now. Here is one report and it says that next, Homeland Security will look into it, but the drones are not in protected airspace. They are not doing any damage or threatening anything; so apparently it is legal, except that they do not have the FAA permission to be flying them at night.
