This Joe Rogan clip is worth watching.

The Ex Navy Pilot shoots down all of Joe's conspiracy nonsense. I was going to skip over this one, but since it's mentioned in the video and apparently Joe had been easily converted to the idea: there's a right-wing pro-Trump conspiracy theory out there about a loose Ukraine nuke that the drones are searching for. I know, just when you think people can't get any dumber, but every single last one of them voted for you-know-who so it goes with the territory.
What makes the clip worth watching in my view is that the pilot points out that the reason why they aren't being shot down or aggressively hacked is that unless there is reason to believe the drone is a threat or a foreign spy, they assume it's a civilian, and it requires a warrant (as I've said). And just because you're curious doesn't mean it's a threat. Joe is blown away by this. Well, I'm glad FINALLY someone brought this up. It may be the first instance of it I've seen. There are other podcast discussions that don't rise to the level of dumb that Joe does where for some reason, nobody on the panel has done any due diligence research on what the laws are for interacting with drones.
This omission alone goes a long way to fuel conspiracy arguments. Someone always says, "If I were to fly my drone over a military base I'd be thrown in prison for 10 years, the fact that the government has never brought one down proves that either they can't, or they are scared to; therefore it must be aliens."
If you breach Area 51, worst case scenario is a thousand dollar fine, but most likely private security will just escort you out. There is a guy who got raided for flying a drone over it, but he had a long history of spying on the place. So even though many of these places have "use of deadly force authorized," in practice that just doesn't happen. Military bases are for the most part, not very interesting. There are these things called satellites monitoring them constantly. The fact that a drone flies over one isn't a critical threat to national security.

Also saw there were drones over the Boy's home town right up the highway. And...Wright Patt closed for 4 hours to investigate drones?
