Some drone hobbyist suggest that the FAA is using drone hysteria to enact stricter regulations
Mysterious drone sightings in Colorado were first reported in December
There has been little evidence or explanation for the unexplained phenomenon since
Enthusiasts wonder if the FAA is capitalizing on this national attention to push forward stricter drone policies
FAA proposed that private drone owners to be identified on a central database that allows owner identification and tracking
Some drone enthusiasts are accusing the Federal Aviation Administration and the media using the panic around mysterious drone sightings to approve stricter regulations.
Hysteria began to swirl in December as reports of at least 17 drones flying 'nighttime search patterns' over northern Colorado, emerged, according to the Denver Post.
At the time, Phillips County Sheriff Thomas Elliott told the publication that 'the drones stay about 200 feet to 300 feet in the air' from 7pm to 10pm nightly.
Nobody, including Colorado authorities, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the FAA, the Air Fore, the U.S. Army or the Department of Defense were able to shed light on the unexplained phenomenon.
