As drones become more advanced I often find myself wondering if the internet will become so bombarded by false UFO sightings and videos of elaborate hoax drones that it may become extremely difficult, in the near future, to tell the two apart. Food for thought.

As has been mentioned a few times on PRC...We have to wonder how many past UFO sightings may have been drones even before drones became known to the public. Was several of them drones being used by the Military or some other organisations...both as legit reasons ..such as surveillance or spying or to act as UFO sightings to monitor the public's reactions.
Then now the Public have access to them...there will now be numerous sightings....and no doubt some quite amazing / impressive designs.
But will we become immune to them after a while . like with the Chinese Lanterns..The 1st time I saw lanterns I found them to appear as some sort of UFO until I later became aware of what they were.
Coincidentally..I saw my first Live flying drone just a couple of days ago...I had gone for a walk to a nearby meadow / wooded area and somehow had happened to find a more dense spot that I had actually never seen before and was investigating the area ...and to my surprise I came across two very old rusted cars that must have been there for maybe 50 years or more and I had no idea HOW they got there..(Other than they must have been there before the trees grew of which some where very high) as surrounding trees prevented any cars getting to the area....and the cars were both on a very rough high spot of land in that area..not on the lower levels... and I was walking underneath some trees when I heard a buzzing sound and initially wondered if it was nearby bee hive or swarm of bees...so I looked around me and looked up into the trees and the next thing..I saw this object come flying over in between the gaps in the trees. a few minutes later it came back passing over in the opposite direction.
I was in an area I thought that normally would seem very private and no one could easily see.. yet the appearance of the Drone made it hard to believe and to think again ! ..I later tried to see if I could see anyone flying the drone from the open fields near to the woodland.. but could not see anyone as there were very few people around. So just how far it had flown I don't know. The nearest houses maybe 1/2 mile away.
Its hard to say how high it was..but it was at least double maybe triple the height of the highest trees..that were maybe over 60 ft high..but I would not think it was a large drone..
I am aware some of the medium sized to larger non military drones can fly over a mile..maybe two miles..
Last year on attending a U.K UFO conference...myself and many attendees witnessed a UFO hovering very high up above the building we were in and it stayed there for about an hour while we were on dinner break... Later cloud came across and it had disappeared next time we looked.. On looking with various optical aids that myself and others had.. we could see it was at times appear to be rotating..It seemed to be close to passing Airliner height as we witnessed an aircraft fly under it..
Whether or not it had been a UFO or a Drone I don't know..but maybe it could have been a drone...
With ref to UFOs... if they are far away and appear small in the distance..and are seen as slow moving or hovering.. it will seem almost impossible to tell if its a drone or a UFO..
It maybe any ones that we see that move at very high speeds or that do 90 degree turns..that we can possibly eliminate...
