- 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.
amazon figuring out how to bring that helicopter pilot a package
High value package, Amazon delivery needed a signature.
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. 💪😎🤟
@@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
It's actually not so difficult, look into long range FPV, 7-10" prop quads will hold speed and climb mountains with ease. I imagine it would have to have been at least an 8" to hold 100mph, at that point it can be made surprisingly efficient and carry big batteries
The police chase was probably more of a threat to public safety than the pesky RC craft ever could be...
Usually always is.
Alien probe
Assuming it ever existed, which it didn't. We in the UK have just found out that our government has a Behavioural insight department more commonly known as the nudge team so it's guaranteed the USA has something similar in spades and this sort of untruth will be used to justify remote ID.
If they didn’t see it the correct terminology is they were chasing a UFO: Unidentified Flying Object.
That would be the correct term even if they saw it but could not identify it.
Chased for over an hour and they don't have any video clip. Who's blowing smoke to who?
Why would they release video clips of an ongoing investigation by the fbi.. because if they did and this is a kid messing around it would tip them off and the fbi especially doesn't release information during ongoing investigations. But they do have radar data and possibly other sensor data. But remmebr this was at almost 11pm.... at 12,000 ft.. it's pretty dark..and they even said it wasn't visible through night vision goggles...they could only see a green light. So all you would see on video is a green light.. it's not as easy as you think to fly a helicopter and chase something..and worry about taking out your phone to record a video..especially at night. I mean are you suggesting the border 2 border patrol pilots and 2 tpd pilots are just making this up? Even though the air traffic control also picked this up?.... And what would they get out of lying and having the fbi investigate...and risk getting in trouble for making this all up? Please enlighten us..
DARPA out here trolling local PD and other govt agencies 😂
There's one of these cruising around Calgary Alberta once in awhile, I've seen it circling all around the SE part of the city on numerous occasions.
I bet they're controlling it using the cell network.
Lol all modern commercial drones are sophisticated and specialized.
Something screams like it's a set up for a joke, like the ninja parade with only a blurry chance shot of a ninja making it in to the news.

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.
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.

@@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.

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.
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.

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.
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
Or, they could by making it up to try to add more drone legislation.
That was my thought as well.
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

To paraphrase Obi Wan - That's no drone, it's a spaceship.
All they saw was a green light literally flying circles around their helicopter.
Sounds like everything else is guessing through bias.
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

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

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.
Mount Lemmon is a little over 9,100 feet, so it must have gone over by a lot. So much dodgy info to this story.
🤣😂 they couldn't see it, even with thermal... but something WAS there...🤭 must be a drone!
Here is a tip:clean the bugs off the windscreen of the helicopter!
hollographic ? project blue beam ?
I commented below that they still haven't caught the jetpack guy here in L.A. yet and turn on the 11 o'clock news. They say they spotted him today again but no go on catching him again. What a coincidence!
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.
So to summarize: helicopter pilots couldn't and never saw what they were chasing (and they could somehow estimate its relative speed versus theirs).. I'm really shocked they never found it. Sometimes the most logical answer is the correct one. Maybe a bird flew by, spent hours searching for something, and then have to justify the taxpayer money they wasted trying to find something that may have never existed in the first place. I haven't read the report so maybe this is just a really bad description by this news station of what happened.
I'm sure Trump will get the blame for this too.
If so, then he’ll just drone on about it!
why lol?
Whats to say this isnt just a
"Made up story to further restrict the use of drones"
Makes more sense.
They said that they couldn't even see it, not even with infrared goggles. Show the hell can they chase something they can't evensee?
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
that Drone probably was Not Human made - its not the 1st time & this time U dont even have any Photo or videos of it !!
Dang! That’s a drone that I want!
He hit it on the Nail this was for sure USM that got away from somebody or “walked” off the Base and somebody had some fun with Tech that the USAF or ARMY has in The world of Drones.
Yep
No. This sounds like a commercially available agriculture drone with some mods for extended video range.
@@charlieodom9107
Any guesses on model type?
@@chraffis Foxtech makes hybrid engines, and many different companies are producing drones with their powerplant.
So, a 2.4kw power plant. A 10-20w antenna for linking to a ground station. Some carbon fiber attachments for the motors, batteries, camera, fuel tank, radio components, servos, etc, and some intelligent sensors/cameras for advanced flight modes and you'll have yourself a badass drone.
This drone could have been any number of manufactured drones, or a custom one built in someone's garage using long range antennas.
You can bet someone put 10s of thousands of bucks into it to have a 1 hour plus flight time at high speeds. That would require a hybrid motor with a gallon or more of fuel.
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.
No victim, no crime. I bet they want to forcefully take what's his, and give him some fines to pay now.
Military ain't giving it to em
I know, right? Even though it's theirs.
He is probably using TBS CROSSFIRE & a signal booster. Easy to setup & got up to 40 miles of range …
Nobody knows the size of the drone or the total "chase" time ? could be done with a 90-100 cm drone allready... not so hard....
this guy is wrong, it isn't going to necessarily be "darpa" expensive. a hobbyist can do this.
100 mph... Right
@@WeAreLight05 100 mph is ez mode...
@@yetidynamics Yeah especially like those race drones
@@ReasonsWhy1 hitting 100 mph for less than a second in a racing/ freestyle drone isn't exactly hard yes, but to sustain 100 mph at up to 14,000feet, for an hour, for over that many miles, is completely diffrent
@@mazfpv1790 Yeah i know. it would drain the battery like nothing. Not saying it's one of them lol. just saying drones can go fast.
doesn't sound like a drone to me. over a mountain? and hour of flight time? I'm not saying it was aliens but it was totally Aliens.
I know right it makes me think of that word that rhymes with extraterrestrial.......I just can't remember it right now. I hate that!👽
Military drone with artificial intelligence and radar avoidance
Exactly what I'm thinking
Oh they like to risk possible mid air crashes above populated cities and airports /military bases? Seriously?....
@@olegderkach the military can't tell the police. You know how much the R&D for the performance that they described is? Definitely DOD
@@ajwysopal outran a police helicopter, stealth capable, more than an hour of power capacity at max operating speed and height. Yeah... Military. They were testing.... Someone saw it and called the police and they didn't want classified drones caught in the public ether.
Heli couldn't take a picture? Somethings up
It was me.. i made it from pinball machine parts.
