Colorado has reportedly provided its most advanced surveillance plane to help locate the source of several âmystery dronesâ that have been spotted in recent weeks in the night sky over the state as well as over neighboring Nebraska and Kansas.
Residents in multiple counties across the three states have been left baffled after spotting dozens of the aerial-vehicles, which feature six-feet wingspans and fly across the sky in grid-like patterns between the hours of 6 and 10 pm.
The Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control confirmed on Tuesday that it had joined several state and federal investigative agencies, including the FBI, FAA, and the military, in trying to find the dronesâ operators.
While the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control would not confirm if it used the aircraft, Fox 31 TV in Denver says that it tracked a fire-tracking plane on the web site FlightAware.com as it flew for five hours on Monday night.
