Spy Drone Almost Causes Mid Air Collision With Jet Over Denver

FAA investigating “extremely dangerous” incident

A mystery object, thought to be a military or law enforcement drone, flying in controlled airspace over Denver almost caused a catastrophic mid air crash with a commercial jet Monday.

The pilot of the Cessna jet radioed air traffic controllers to warn them that “A remote controlled aircraft” had flown past his plane far too close for comfort.

“Something just went by the other way … About 20 to 30 seconds ago. It was like a large remote-controlled aircraft.” the pilot said in the transmission that was captured on the live air traffic audio website liveatc.net.

The craft was reported as being about 8,000 feet above sea level, or about 2,800 feet above the ground, at the time the pilot reported the seeing it. It did not show up on radar.

The type of drones used by NATO typically fly at 10,000 feet and below. Other tactical military drones can fly up to 18,000 feet.

Denver 9News reports that the Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident, which it has described as potentially “extremely dangerous.”

“The threat is there from a collision standpoint,” an FAA spokesman said.

In a statement to USA Today, the agency said: “The FAA is investigating the incident and will try to positively identify the object the Citation pilot reported, where it came from and who was operating it.”

Aviation expert and former NTSB investigator Greg Feith told 9News that he believed the object could have been either a military or police drone.

“We have something in controlled airspace that poses a danger,” Feith added.

!Exactly, but those .gov Spin Doctors will say it was the boogieman terrorists, followed by, further clapdowns and need for "Drone airspace Priorities"

I didn't know the FAA licensed 300,000 drones to fly over the next 8 years... and who's paying for these 300,000 drones?
http://revolutioninmedia.com/2012/05/17/spy-drone-almost-causes-passenger-jet-crash/

Legislation has cleared Congress that will allow the FAA to license somewhere around 300,000 drones within American airspace by the year 2020. We have access to an Air Force document that allows for the stripping of the laws in respect to privacy and surveillance. This document can be viewedUSAF pdf document: http://www.fas.org/irp/doddir/usaf/afi14-104.pdf


Some pundits are concerned that the drones might cause Americans to react violently towards the drones. Fox News’ Judge Andrew Napolitano shared his concerns that some Americans might take to shooting down the drones in an act of resistance.

Every well-informed person knows that Denver is the entrance to Hollow Earth, and the location of the UN embassy that deals with diplomacy with the Nazis that live inside.

[JK/SEA]

collateral damage...the price for freedom...suck it up...small plane pilot was immediately arrested, and no word of his whereabouts was given except ''no comment'' from DHS.

America hater.

Terrorist sympathizer.

Don't you know those things are keeping you safe?

[Anti Federalist]

And just what, pray tell, were "they" looking for?

And while I'm at it, let me address that word "they" as it applies here.

For years, "conspiracy theorists" like myself would get questioned by skeptics as to who "they" really are.

So I tried to be as specific as could when "they" would have sufficed.

But now, no other word fits..."they".

Because there is no way on God's green earth to determine just who are flying these infernal machines and where the surveillance data feed goes to.

Local cops? State cops? FBI? NSA? DHS? EPA? DIA? CIA?

Who the fuck knows?

"They".

[jmdrake]

We gotta destroy the airspace over America in order to save it.

[RickyJ]

The terrorist have a new weapon now, drones! They don't need to hijack planes anymore to attack us, they can just build a drone, fill it with explosives, and crash it at their target of choice. This should put the TSA out of business.

[phill4paul]

In a statement to USA Today, the agency said: “The FAA is investigating the incident and will try to positively identify the object the Citation pilot reported, where it came from and who was operating it.”

There will be NO further reporting by the FAA on this event.

The chinese, they know. of course, it very well could be theirs. just wait until those branches of govt start warring with each other as is prone to happen when empires collapse from within.

[Lishy]

Someone should shoot one down.

With terrorism going down, why is it "security" is going up?

If they're so damn worried about a crisis in America, why is it they're the ones causing it?

Veteran's Today is running an article on Israeli drones in US skies today. I wonder if this is one of theirs? False flag shit. Run into a plane and then blame some Muslims for a bomb they smuggled aboard.

Don't do that. Everyone should look at that picture in your link. And when you think you've seen enough keep looking at it. I just posted it on FB with this comment:

"All you pro-war types out there take a good look at the picture inside this link. I'm ashamed of my country. And don't tell me this is Israel and not the US. Who do you think they got the drones/money from in the first place?"

People need to see this stuff with a picture of their kids right next to it and maybe throw in a picture of a Chinese soldier in a UN helmet to really get it through.

I agree, it should be rubbed right in every war hawk, turn it into a glass parking lot, idjit nose out there.

I just didn't want the thread to die, because I think the drone story itself is important.

I flagged a post and asked to have the thread returned to GP and that you will remove the Israel link if that's the problem. Let's see what happens.

[sailingaway]

I didn't even see the Israel drone link. Is it the one with the size and appearance of a butterfly? I saw that the other day.

Last night we had a lot of company and not EVERYONE people were speculating were attacking could be true. I didn't want to have to watch it. But I'll put it back.

the stuff in general politics is still tweeted though, so keep it in mind when letting your speculations wander.

Drone pilot pay is pretty good, BTW.

Thank you Sailing. I thought only Grassroots was tweeted. This is getting ridiculous.

[pcosmar]

The Veterans article was a bit inflammatory (justifiably) but it was based on and linked to a Salon story.
http://www.salon.com/2012/05/15/israels_drone_dominance/?source=newsletter

And in a time when every aircraft has a tracking beacon,, Radar covers all air traffic and air traffic controllers are in near constant contact with everything in the air..
No one admits ownership of this hazard??

[puppetmaster]

or the 17 year old hacker just done playing Call of Duty...or any other war game. Remember that drone that was landed in Iran. That will happen here I am sure of it. Someone will get control of one of these and lives will be lost.
Or they will blame it on someone else.....

[Anti Federalist]

Understood, but in this case, it was reported as, and FAA is treating it as, a "near miss collision".

No speculation there.


“The threat is there from a collision standpoint,” an FAA spokesman said.

In a statement to USA Today, the agency said: “The FAA is investigating the incident and will try to positively identify the object the Citation pilot reported, where it came from and who was operating it.”

In any case, thanks for moving the thread back.
