or perhaps pixies... there's a real danger out there, and people are paranoid. The question is, of course, are we paranoid enough?
This was discussed on another forum. One of the guys there does model rockets competitively, and keeps up with the tech. He and a few other guys came up with a budget of roughly a thousand bucks for a genuine, Mach 1+, heat-seeking anti-aircraft missile, made out of stuff you can get fairly easily, including control systems for model airplanes.
But why the f*k bother? The real military ones aren't much more expensive in such forward-looking places as Ukraine and *stan.
And even so, I still think it was a Kincheloe repeat. People are seeing, and reporting, all kinds of things these days. The things tend not to be saucer-shaped any more, for some reason.
