Maltaran Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 1 hour ago, Ser Scot A Ellison said: I’m surprised they aren’t just shooting them down. Who needs the whole army just some good snipers and whoever is doing this will run out of drones very quickly. The police spokesman said they weren't doing that just yet because they were worried about stray bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way they could organise a conspiracy to distract the country OR cover up alien activity. I did briefly wonder why there weren't better contingency plans for an event which may be unusual but was bound to happen at some point, then I realised that the department that would have been responsible for such contingency planning was run by Chris Grayling, and it all made sense.

polishgenius Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 It turns out that the latest suspect in the case is... nothing. There may have been no drones at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mance Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Okay, seriously, what the fuck? Quote Their release came as Sussex Police said they were relying on eye witnesses and there may have been no "genuine drone activity in the first place". Det Ch Supt Jason Tingley said no footage of a drone had been obtained. He said there was "always a possibility" the reported sightings of drones were mistaken.[/quote] Airport shut down for days on the say so of unverified witnesses with no footage from any of what must have been dozens if not hundreds of press and security cameras? Aliens actually sounds more plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like someone in Sussex police might be in trouble for giving this impression: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/dec/24/suggestion-that-drone-did-not-exist-down-to-poor-communications Suggestions that there may never have been a drone at Gatwick airport were down to “poor communications” rather than a genuine possibility that the incident was baseless, police have told the government. There has been a damaged drone found near the airport perimeter that the police are examining, although there hasn't been any confirmation it was involved in the disruption.
