Didn't know this. That is an awesome story.

In this case though the drones were clearly not attacking. If it was simply to test the defenses, why send several drones rather than one? Why use big commercial drones rather than disposable consumer models? Why spend so long?

The most obvious answer is that the drones were gathering intelligence, using cameras or other surveying gear too large for a consumer quadcopter. Surveyors use drones fitted with LiDAR, light-based radar, to build accurate three-dimensional pictures of buildings and landscapes with an accuracy of a few centimeters. Others use drone-based photogrammetry, a technique which correlates a large number of two-dimensional images into a full three-dimensional one. Either process requires much longer than a straightforward flyover, which may explain why there were there for so long.

There are only 3 actual currencies on Earth: Energy, Food and Drugs

As I read it, someone wanted to analyze the build and layout of the Palo Verde facility. I think not to destroy it, but perhaps to replicate it, to figure out how to hamper it, or to identify some trade secret. All would be for profit or gain.

If there is a war, this critical infrastructure needs to be considered the article even mentions US troops being there in 2003 to prevent an attack.

Well, I think the war is BS personally. There are no real governments left, only corporations and large owners. They do in-fight, I have some first hand experience.

What is going on in Ukraine is just act 3 or 4 or 5 in the control-of-oil-pipelines game that has been played since the first Iraq war.

I am not saying that the war could / would not come here... just that if I had to bet, the drones were not foreign interests or whatever.

I’m on the same page. The globalist elite bastards might want to shut this down to further their interests. Think about it.

Could the aliens be sending drones like they used to send UFOs to nuke bases?

Or the aliens are sending their midgets to hide better?

We cant be acceptable in outer space if we keep killing with our nukes.

Really interesting because a few years ago there were similar incidents in France....7 nuclear power plants were affected.
