The ones shown in video all emit light. I'm sure if I had something nefarious in mind that wasn't spreading fear among passers by, I'd turn the damn drone lights off. They behave like their owners want them to be seen.

It's quite possible their only task is to fly around and make sure people see them, as a form of less violent terrorism that rather counts on news channels and social media to spread fear.
