My father took this picture of a drone in Morris County, NJ. Anyone want to help identify what it is? https://i.imgur.com/Sfet0Ps.jpeg





I'm far from an expert but looks more or less like a garden variety quad-copter. Maybe a somewhat larger one. You guys are really seeing them all over the place? That's the start of a good sci-fi movie. Let's see if we find something out. Is it possible people are just a lot more sensitive to seeing drones that are around anyways?

I mean, drones are pretty cheap, yeah? Why not just join the fun? Buy a drone, follow one of these other ones around, see what happens. Worst case: Some army dude knocks on the door and says to stop it, maybe you gotta pony up to a lawyer. Best case: Your new alien friends have great new schnapps on the intergalactic party-barge.

Looks like a standard quadcopter. Might be a bigger one from DJI perhaps? Matrice 350 or similar

Based on the apparent size and arrangement of the central section, that looks like a DJI Inspire 1 or 2.
