- A February police report indicates that Tucson police chased a mystery drone across the city at more than 100 miles per hour. The FBI is now looking for the pilot.
Plot twist: Air Force called the police on themselves to test how evasive the new drone is.
Ok that's funny.
Close, but almost. I live in Point Loma, San Diego Ca. Google map my neighborhood and you’ll see just how close we are to Naval Base North Island. Wonderful things are always flying or utilizing the ocean around us. 🇺🇸
Sounds about right
possible, but not likely
Dam someone forgot to lock the hanger after they were done.
amazon figuring out how to bring that helicopter pilot a package
High value package, Amazon delivery needed a signature.
Chasing something they could not see even in infrared? Sounds like a goose chase to me!
especially if it had a hot propane engine
Lol but geese can’t fly 100 mph, and I don’t think they fly at 14,000 feet either lol. Probably some sick military drone that we don’t know about yet. If the story is even true that is.
Manbearpig. It’s real! I’m totally cereal! 🤦🏽♂️
@@rexrocker1268 "If the story is even true that is." That makes it a Goose Chase.
It obviously was aliens. 😂
This is literally incredible. Whoever made this drone is an absolute badass.
offer that person a darpa contract!!!!
Thanks for your comment! Wait until you see what I have in store for next run!
I see what you did there.
Nice, lol. 💪😎🤟
I HIGHLY DOUBT this was a drone. Most likely a wing. You can buy a wing on ebay that can go 100 MPH EASY for $100 and it can fly for an hour at those speeds. It takes very little skill to build and fly
@@StreetMachine18 my $100 wing can fly for an hour, ,can go 100 mph+, and has infinite range if using cell towers and GPS. It's not rocket science, any idiot with youtube and the skills to solder and draw a flight path can do this. I'm being dead serious it's stupid easy
Wait, they said they couldn’t see it, even without night vision, yet they were chasing it….so they could see it.
That's what I was wondering too... at 0:53 they did say that it had a "green light" on its belly, but could see nothing else. I guess it was just the green light they saw, and chased after what it was attached to.
Exactly.
Misinformation, they are trying to pin this on drone operations. Law enforcement hates all civilian drones and will paint them in the worst light
Right, the reporter’s questions were not deep enough. His logic flawed.
@@ErrorAcquired Not just Police but Government. In Canada you can't fly a drone over any public lands, Near anyone or within a kilometer of ANY man made construction of any kind. Which means you can be charged for flying within a kilometer of a single fence post in the middle of no where if someone complains or even if they just say a complaint was made through a tip line. Government also allow people to post their land as no drones so you can't fly over it. You can very literally own a quarter section of land and they can charge you for going to the geographical center of that property taking off Hovering and landing if any neighbor complains as a kilometer is a bit over the 1/2 mile. The only way to be entirely safe from Government laws on where you can legally fly laws you must own 4 sections of land in a square together where you can fly below 300ft in line of sight circles. And even with all of that and required licenses and registration. If a plane or Helicopter break the law and fly into your allowed air space hitting you. Well, that's your fault also. 100% liability is on you. We used to be a free country. No more! And the US is right on our heels into authoritarian rule.
"They could never see it but they chased it all over the City"
Lol
Maybe a drug test is in order
I have not seen a helicopter with radar so how were they "tracking" something they couldnt see?
jajaajajjaajaj TRue !!!
Don't forget it went over the mountain...
🤣
"Can you see this thing?"
"Not me, can you?"
"No, I can't see it either."
"Well, it's not on infrared; keep chasing it."
More like.
Cop#1 "hey you want to test this helicopter to its limits"
Cop#2 "I mean yeah, but boss would be on us about it and wasting the super expensive fuel for no reason..."
Cop#3"ive got an idea, but we all gotta agree on it okay? Let's say a drone almost crashed into us, and we chased it trying to stop them but it was insanely fast and maneuverable... but we gotta say it was stealth because our cameras won't have evidence"
Cop#1 "man you're a genius, let's do it buckle up"
Oh man that comment was genius, I gotta copy and paste it some other places so other people see it lol
But, but...it was probably a propane-powered drone! :D
@@helpabrothawithasubisaiah5316 My first thought was the CIA or NSA paid the cops some moonlighting money and had them sign a NDA with criminal penalties so they could create propaganda to make the Chinese and Russians think the US military has some new super drone technology. But when I saw your post I then realized the whole thing was much simpler than I thought. Either way, there was no drone.
... So they chased a green light until it went over a 14,000 ft mountain? I don't think it was a propeller-driven drone.
it was most definitely a propeller driven wing. ( like the shape of the B-2 ) My single motor wing can fly over an hour and can cruise at 80MPH. If you program a flight path using GPS the only limit is battery life.

I reckon they were chasing a bug on the window. That's why no matter how they manoeuvre it stayed with them.
😂
Here in the South we call them "lightnin bugs"............
Best explanation I’ve heard yet!
Like they said it was doing circles around them, I figure that's the part where the helicopter was spinning around making it look like the drone(bug) was doing circles around them.
Sounds about right. Salute
So someone in the military was having a blast on the governments expense 😂
Haha it's like distracting kittens with a laser pointer. This is how we can keep cops busy.
What you saw was the planet venus, mixed with a temperature inversion, divided by swamp gas, with a weather balloon addendum.
Lmao....exactly
Ok. So a drone battery probably can't last that long. Especially at that speed.
You forgot to factor in the wind speed
@@meestameestaaaaaa Depends.
A lot of people use the term "drone" to mean a quad-copter, like the one the reporter showed, and only that.
There can also be fixed-wing drones, which can be faster and have greater endurance that the copter type drones. If that is what they were chasing, then the greater range and high-altitude performance become a lot more reasonable.
Most helicopter operations are at altitudes of 10,000 feet or less, so helicopters don't usually carry oxygen equipment. This drone is reported as flying over a 14,000 foot high mountain, which is the height at which the FAA requires pilots to use supplemental oxygen. Oxygen is also required if flying above 12,500 feet for 30 minutes or more.
Your scientists have yet to discover how neural networks create self-consciousness, let alone how the human brain processes two-dimensional retinal images into the three-dimensional phenomenon known as perception.
Yet you somehow brazenly declare seeing is believing?
Mister Crikenson, your scientific illiteracy makes me shudder, and I wouldn't flaunt your ignorance by telling anyone that you saw anything last night other than the planet Venus, because if you do, you're a dead man.
If that's the actual flight pattern...I'd say some sort of test turned into a troll fest.
And that helicopter supposedly flew that corkscrew flight path at over 100 MPH.
Right. Sure it did all them nonstop circles at 100 MPH. Sounds legit to me.
the flight pattern is exactly how i would avoid letting a police heli lock their gimbal camera system on me. You deff dont want nice HD pictures of your new shiny drone you spent 3 years on in secret being released to the public before you can lock all the patents down.
@@AnthonyGoodley Nobody said they maintained 100 MPH the whole time. You’re assuming and inferring things that are not based on the available data. That’s on you.
@@babybirdhome Yeah, but you bought into an article that's definitely at least 90% fake. The only part that's arguably real is the "alleged" fact that an LE chopper chased it. Everything else is complete BS. And I mean COMPLETE. This "advanced tech" has been around for over a decade; Pretty much for as long as GoPro cameras have been around. There is absolutely nothing about this alleged drone that falls under the category of "not commercially available," "hard," or "very expensive." It would even be a stretch to say that this tech is "not readily available to everyone." In fact, anyone with internet access, a debit or credit card, and about $1500 can buy not only the drone, but the entire setup (all batteries, cameras, transmitters, receivers, antennae, and even an auto-tracking antenna system that tracks the drone for you and automatically points the antenna at it!) That includes >100MPH capability and the ability to control the drone up to 100 miles away from the base station. This entire article is a lie.
@@babybirdhome Yes you're right. My mistake.
I applaud whoever put together this custom drone and I really wish I could order a similar drone from them.
Whoever did that has a military background
Military or Cartel? The only 2 entities with that much disposable cash.
It's not that expensive or difficult to build. long range radios for control and video are available for a few hundred bucks. Flying at 20k feet is possible if you have the power and props. At low altitude it can be extremely fast, can fly at hundreds of miles per hour. Check out the racing drones on YT.
It is. They have them all over the border if that’s a hint. They typically are around areas that have certain types laboratories.
General dynamics, do with that what you will
That’s what I was thinking, Cartel. They use those to run things across the border. I don’t know how far Tucson is from the border but it sounds like it could travel that far-the drone.
when they say that only the d.o.d. can afford these types of drones, a fully built drone that can do these speeds and last that long would have a non electrical engine system. and would cost around 75k. movie sets use them and so does border control. you think movie sets would use a drone to film that needed charging every 10 minutes? get real people. expensive yes, but not out of reach for some
Don't you love these news reports that don't ask obvious questions such as, if they couldn't see it how could they chase it
lol exactly. Also didn't show up on radar. So it was there but couldn't see it with their eyes or on radar. I guess they were chasing the noise that they couldn't hear over the helicopter engine. Sad report.
@@ineverplay1 these comments are as ridiculous as the report. It's obvious that they were able to see the UAS. How else could they describe the green direction light. If you read just a little bit of the text you could see that the pilots had a visual in the UAS and we're able to follow it. The UAS kept flying around them to avoid their visual contact. They were unable to observe it using their night vision. Doesn't mean they couldn't see it. Doesn't mean that it wasn't tracked by radar.
They couldn't see the chassis just green light
😂😂💜💚🇺🇸🌎🌍🌏👽🥊💪🧠
@@mattmarzula if it was tracked on radar, they would have shown its flight path, just like the helicopter. with composite materials and proper fabrication, i too can make things disappear from civilian radar
Over an hour & 100 mph!! That ain't no regular drone 😆
Thats the mexican drone
@@captainlight8050 cartel drone
They can be easily modified to carry multiple batteries and programmed to fly higher and faster. I'm surprised there isn't more if this happening.
@@MrInstag8tor if it's holding multiple batteries it isn't going 100 mph.
Real100Talk it’s probably a hybrid drone walkera QL1200
seems that the drone wasn't the problem, the police chasing it were.
It was probably a fixed wing if it had that much endurance.
exactly, they shoulda shown footage of a predator drone not the quadcopter. This story isn't really interesting when you remember we have a military with classified advanced technology
I saw the thing it looked like a 45 foot long white propane tank. It didnt have wings or any propellers.
The FBI is looking for tips.

@@LarsLarsen77 like chasing a helicopter on a horse 🐎
This is not that difficult to do. LiFe batteries, long range radios and a powerful brushless motor. Stop picturing a quad copter. A fixed wing craft with a clipped wing glider style airframe. Easy. Low thermals, low visible signature, almost zero radar return. 100mph isn't difficult. Flight time over an hour, no problem. 14000 feet, again, no problem. Returning to a mountain? High altitude = extended range and line of sight.
Dude, stop talking like you know what you're talking about. LiFe also known as Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries are nothing special and less energy dense than Lithium Ion and actually lower voltage per cell. (3.7v vs 4.2) LiPo's - Lithium Polymer, are the most energy dense, especially in high voltage guise Lithium HiVi (4.35v per cell) like you have in your cell phones. They would use LiFe if it was some magic battery. To use the energy this aircraft did for as long as it did isn't a "Meh" thing. Just stop.
@@JViello such vitriol from a skinny armed pansy
@@JViello LiFe batteries were just an example he stated and they’d work with the layout he gave so he it was all correct and it seems he did know what he was saying
I can smell the virginity in this thread.
The US Army flight tested drones in Honduras and into Nicaragua almost forty years ago. High altitude, long range flights. The only problem they ran into was barometric pressure changes effected the stabilization system. Other than that they worked rather well. Yeah, 40 year old technology.
I knew one of the people who flew them.
We can’t even stop a plastic drone that’s going 100 mph… we’re screwed if an alien invasion comes.
That wasn't plastic... it traveled for an hour at over 100mph doing circles, then climbed to 14,000 feet and had no heat signature..
They had to have an engine built in, and heat shielding technology...

Very interesting. I commute from Casa Grande to Chandler and one morning about 3 months ago I noticed a drone flying parallel to the freeway, about 100 yards away from me. It kept pace with me @ 75mph and i observed it for at least 6 miles until it veered diagonally toward the mountains and out of sight. This one had just one small red light.
My drone tops out at 118mph lol. Spent a pretty penny building this thing tho. Even faster than that if im flying with the current of the wind.

Yes exactly and yet another reason why wasting vast resources to build a wall on the border was a waste. I’m all for some type of physical barrier where needed but technology and manpower are equally important.
That was a deco to take the helicopter on a wild goose chase while they move a shipment across the border.
My guess is a long range fpv wing, still considered a drone, the news never stated if it was a quadcopter
That was exactly my guess.100mph is child's play for a seasoned RC pilot. I routinely do half hour flights at around 60-75% throttle using relatively low capacity batteries. Double the battery size and you could play tag with a helicopter and them on que no problem. Not mention all the equipment needed it can be built or bought for under 100$

I would have been funny if the pattern flown by the helicopter spelled "you will never catch me".
The distance between Davis Mountain air force base and Mt lemon is 39.3 miles. The elevation of Mt Lemon is 8000 ft so it went almost twice as high as the mountain

10 yo? really? 10 yo boys are that interested in girls and build drones? your comment would most likely apply to an adolescent or above, but not a 10yo.
So they couldn't even see it with IR Vision?...how can that be a Drone then? My Drones Motors, Batteries and the Flight Control Board all heat up so much you can barely touch them, they certainly would show up on IR.
Good point
With all the other capabilities of the drone it could safely be assumed it has an IR coating that's capable of hiding or masking its signature.
Thermal shielding with aerogel could hide the heat signature. But hiding a propane generator? That muffler will be HOT. Fuel cell burning hydrogen maybe, obviously the owner of this aircraft has near unlimited budget. Cartel sounds likely, who else could take advantage of the real time intelligence this device provides? Whoever it was, boss is mad that the pilot let himself get spotted by a screw up like that.
Nuclear powered drone it's not too hard to isolate heat signatures using Aero gel using liquid nitrogen cooling.... wiht precise cooling control you can make it invisible at ambient temperature making it invisible to IR or use glass skin glass is invisible to IR
A drone with rubber bands to power the propellers would not show up on IR...on second thoughts probably not a good idea
I told the cops in Saint George utah about a similar experience with a drone that was outside my place. He laughed and said that what I saw was not possible. I asked if it was theirs and he scoffed. I could see it because it was below the clouds and had a light under it. I stood staring, watching and so I waved at it. Next thing I see is it goes straight up above the clouds like someone had pulled it up by a string. It just kept hovering. My neighbor has what looks like it might be a drone beacon on her roof. We have been trying to get down but it has been moved from a reachable location to the top of the roof peak. The last people out here that had equipment to do that was the city of Saint George. So you tell me. WTF?

I’ve been dealing with this since 2016. I moved from Florida to Kentucky and they followed along the interstate the whole way!! These aren’t your typical drones.. Our government knows what’s going on. I believe it’s some sort of mass surveillance system .. I call them star drones. They look like a star, but act like a drone. Yes, they can see inside your homes. They pick up sound as well.. If you play music you’ll see them pulsate to the sounds.
Occam’s razor; that was a joyride.
Yeah a joy ride that was just doing circles around the city for fun
Doing things a commercial drone couldn't do. Couldn't get a visual but for a green light. Hit 14,000ft.
So a UAP then.
Plot twist! Just a kid playing with his laser pointer.
Did the same with my dog. He was also going in circles trying to catch it.
Could have been a fixed wing drone. Funny how even the experts don't mention that.
Thats what i though,a delta wing can do that speed easy
@justan idiot i was using a crappy store bought spec deltawing , a pitched up one will do 80 easy for example
@justan idiot it can do it at 14,000 ft ?
exactly, was thinking model jet with POV setup

Some Chinese military guy that brought his drone with him through Mexico testing it out with his thousands of soldier friends standing by laughing.

Wait, more important than why they couldn't see it, why were they harrassing a drone to begin with?
Because the government doesn't like when you have cooler toys than they have.
Home of the free...
They explained why. The drone allegedly had a near-miss with a CBP helicopter
How do you know it wasn't a peeping drone 👀
If it was flying over 1,000 feet in the air, it was violating the FAA laws for operating a UAS. Additionally, they said it came close to colliding with a helicopter, which is also against FAA regulations (which is fairly obvious). And if that wasn't enough, operating a drone in a way that interferes with a heliport is against the law (although, I do not know if he was actually interfering with the heliport and not just a helicopter in flight). Whoever was flying the drone could possibly ruin the hobby for other drone pilots, because this case could be used as an example of why the US needs greater drone restrictions.
@@coleschaefer6016 yeah but have you ever seen a drone fly for an hour at speeds of “100mph”? As far as I know that tech doesn’t quite exist.
What's really peculiar is it's signal range. The controller had to be nearby.
Not really, you can use the cellphone towers if you make it digital. You can fly where you want as long you have a cellphone connection. And you can program it to fly the way you want on autopilot if connection is broken. Cheaper than satellite connection. Not that hard to make for somebody with some tech skills. A average tech nerd can pull it off. You can order all the parts on the internet. Just need someone with some programming skills to make the software. But it should not be that difficult.
They could also use Air Band, Hf or shortwave. If I had to guess, that drone has a letter beacon on it in case it runs out of battery or has an accident ect.
Prolly a snoozleguster was used to bolsterate the signal proposition into a waveguided trunnel.
I live in Las Vegas and one of these things flew over my back yard so fast we were trying to register what we saw. It was silent too. And big.
If they can't see it in infrared, maybe they are using a fuel cell. However, motor should be pretty hot so they might also have some sort of cooling system. The heli's infrared system could also suck.
Clearly this was a case of extraterrestrial teens out joy-ridding in dads space ship.
Bop-Bleep had a case of beer and the keys to dads flying saucer.
The rest is a matter of public record.
No. It was Booglorp; he’s much more of a troublemaker than Boo-Bleep.
Alien 👽 drone
Better call Muldy & Scully
We had a drone in my state follow a lady for 3 hours and finally she called the cops and the cops confirmed it was a drone but were unable to track it down. I wonder what kinda batteries these things are running.
The VTX / video transmitting system on a drone creates a lot of heat and at that speed for that amount of time, the motors would as well.
I witnessed it this evening at about 7 pm or so. I reported it to the Tucson police department, the national ufo reporting center and the University of Arizona observation department. It's a continuous blueish green light that blinks steady on and off and this is not a civilian drone. It did blink red once before taking off. It hovered stationary for 20 minutes over south east Tucson. It was at altitude of about 500 to 1,500 feet off the ground. It hung below the cloud ceiling. It looks like a star when you first see it. After 20 minutes it took off heading north at about 100 mph+.
It then took a sharp 45 degree turn and made a course change heading east, again at over 100 mph. My first impression was that this thing was not civilian and that it was some kind of secret surveillance drone. Felt eerie to me.
Someone knows something sure is a lot of things going on ⏰
Here is a tip:clean the bugs off the windscreen of the helicopter!
hollographic ? project blue beam ?
He is probably using TBS CROSSFIRE & a signal booster. Easy to setup & got up to 40 miles of range …
Anyone else notice that the ADS-B data for the chopper never showed more than 80 kts speed over ground as it was making circles? Averaging that out it’s maybe going 40kts straight-line. If the chopper was circling and keeping up with the drone as it circled, the drone couldn’t have been going much faster than that 40kts average speed...
lol...Area 52 located in Arizona. The pilot of that craft must have serious situational awareness to avoid and circle the police helicopter.
..... like situational awareness attained with a PTZ cam on a gimbal !
Area 51 isn't in Arizona, it's in Nevada.
@@bradbutcher3984 he said Area 52.. not 51.. pay attention lol
@@bradbutcher3984 I was referring to a new facility: Area 52. Lol
Intelligent flight modes can circle objects in motion without any pilot input!
My drones can do it as long as long as they can go a little faster than the POI! I use it to film my kids on the tube or knee boarding at the lake all the time.
I am a security guard that goes around and checks on buildings and properties One night I looked in the back of the building and I seen a drone flying in a cage it was about as big as a car it was in Scottsdale Arizona
How big was its cage?
The cage was at least 10 yards
any follow up on this story? it would be cool to catch one of these drones and study it.
Extremely low heat signature rules out a combustion engine hybrid.
“Drone” Is the new nomenclature for (Swamp Gas)...
Nice try Gary....😂🤣😛
LOL...Who ever was the pilot of the "drone" was way more skilled then anybody they had chasing it. It was just playing with you and beat you without any problems.
These are angels. We’re in the Bible , book of Revelation, final kingdom. Antichrist is almost here.
They need to find him so they can give him a job
@@memyselfandi8544 get psychiatric help
@The Shadow lol
I can picture the guy yelling for his mom to bring him his meatloaf while he was making a fool out of those police. 😂
they probably saw every kids drone in the neighborhood at different times and thought it was one.
Imagine in the future bank robbers launch like a 100 drones in the sky to distract the police helicopters while they rob a bank.
They would have to do something equally as bad or worse. The police wont bother chasing a bunch of drones just flying around not doing anything if there is a bank heist down the road.
Its a custom exploration drone, 100% Fpv possibly LTE, running a drone for an hour definitely isn't unheard of. Vic sells DJIs he's no expert. Running circles around helicopters and rocketing altitude screams custom racing drone experience.
Exactly. If they wanted to they could correlate the drone flight path from intermittent radar contacts with celltower records and get an IMSI.
Well ,,, kind of. Not many of the ones that can scream around would fly for over an hour. Maybe a fast wing?
"Drone"👌
These things have been seen for decades, green lights included. And Before there were cellphones or laptop computers.
Basically all the guy saw was a green light performing incredible maneuvers
Drone as in a quad or a fixed-wing drone? There are plans for several types of fixed-wing drones that can fly at more than 100 mph and have an endurance of several hours and use a cellular connection for flight controls via an FPV interface, so you could technically control one from anywhere on the planet as long as both you and the drone have access to a cell network. Most of those are virtually invisible on infrared and FLIR systems. Some of these are capable of flying at 30,000 feet.
Ok I give up, it was me........
Had 5 modified batteries mounted on my DJI while capturing some 4k video until some giant drone showed up behind me, the tail wind was pushing me over 90mph all over town in circles, I barely made it back to the home point.
Didn't know it was cops, my bad.
lmao
🤡
It was definitely the jet pack guy they spotted yesterday. Jet pack man strikes again!
Sarge said "Jet pack man was on the way"....Happens often.
That drone was more aware that of the aircraft in the area than they were of it.
Good grief!! That's insane!!
If they couldn't see it, how were they "chasing" it? This is all jacked up. All the way around. They can't even get their story straight.
"OH well followed it here and there but we couldn't really see it. Even it night vision. 🤷"
Thats not how seeing things works.
It's how UAPs work. This is a classic UAP encounter and ever since last weeks report, rest assured that the FAA and Pentagon's UAPTF are well aware of this.
Rite!
they were chasing a reflection of the sun on the choppers glass LOL
