Well, folks, after weeks of watching that yellow and blue plane buzzing around like a confused bumblebee on steroids, we finally got a response. And guess what? Turns out we’re not supposed to worry. Nope, nothing to see here, just the good ol’ government “doing their thing.” Isn’t that just precious? That’s like when your neighbor’s dog is barking at 3 a.m., and they tell you, “Oh, he’s just being friendly.” Sure, I’ll bet.
But let’s break this down, shall we? We’re supposed to believe this plane is harmless. Harmless! As it zigzags over the St. Lawrence River and circles Watertown, almost as if it’s trying to crack some kind of cosmic safe. Maybe it’s searching for rare earth minerals, or maybe it’s mapping out how many illegal woodstoves we’ve got. Or better yet, maybe it’s figuring out if Fort Drum’s defenses can be mapped in 4K from a different direction. Because hey, we’ve all seen what AI can do, right? Next thing you know, this thing will be scanning our yards to tell if we’re growing tomatoes or hiding contraband. Technology, baby!
And here’s the kicker. What if this bright, happy little plane isn’t even being flown by a person? Oh yeah, we’re in drone territory, people. No pilot, no accountability. It’s all fun and games until a plane with no human behind the wheel starts thinking for itself, right? Maybe it’s not just “doing a survey.” Maybe it’s the government’s new way of reminding us, “Hey, we’re watching!” No need for black helicopters anymore; they’ve gone high-tech with little planes painted like a kindergarten project.
But sure, “nothing to worry about,” they say. Just go about your day, ignore the drone buzzing over your head. You’re not important enough to be part of the big picture anyway. But here’s the thing: they know we’re asking questions, and they know the best way to shut us up is to hit us with that patronizing line: “It’s just the government doing their thing.”
Yeah, right. And I’m just “doing my thing” by asking: what exactly is “their thing” these days? Are they mapping out new mineral zones? Tracking illegal activity? Testing new AI surveillance tech? Or maybe—and this is just me spitballing here—maybe they’re just having a bit of fun with us, keeping us guessing while they do God-knows-what.
So here we are, still in the dark, but with one thing crystal clear: when the government says “don’t worry,” it’s usually the time to start worrying. Maybe next time I’ll grab a lawn chair, sit back, and wave at that yellow and blue bird in the sky. After all, I’ve got nothing to hide… right?
Yeah, because when the government says ‘nothing to worry about, that’s exactly when I start panicking. They probably have a whole surveillance bingo card, and Watertown’s just one of the squares!
I knew it! I’ve been saying this for weeks, drones are the new black helicopters. They’re just sneakier, and now they come in pretty colors to make us think it’s all innocent.
Are you drunk?
I’m just waiting for the day when one of these things starts talking to us. ‘Citizen, we’ve detected non government-approved tomatoes in your backyard. Please comply.’ It’s a surveillance state with a sense of humor!
The real question is, how long before they start parking these planes over our homes 24/7? I’ll just wave a white flag every time it flies by and hope for the best!
Bloody Hell
The price of land just went up if true.
Nutty Professor
The whole thing sounds fishy come on like we’re sitting on gold everywhere. By the way I just saw the plane go by a couple minutes ago. I’m in Carthage.
I guess they’re right when they say no Americans will do the job😂
I was just on realtor.com looking for land up that way so I can get in on the scam too
I got a bridge in Brooklyn if anybody wants to buy it?
Hey guys, I’m from Carthage. My husband and I just saw a flyover a bunch of times. I must’ve missed the news reports but this is definitely not cool.
