Let's see you try to take a picture with your phone in the pitch dark of an object 200 feet in the air moving at 50mph

Who said anything about a phone? You're trying to tell me no one has any professional digital cameras anymore?
Rather than "want to be seen," it could also be that it doesn't matter one way or another.
I'm guessing it's a federal government thing. Judging from their size, there's a lot of money flying up there. Government folks can lie with the best of them and even put someone in jail for spilling the beans.
Laws notwithstanding, I can't believe someone hasn't shot one down or at least tried.

Lots of footage of them out there. Here is an NBC news report on one. Some are commercial models with all the lights blinking away, not hiding anything.

Yeah right, call in with correct info and they will come by and put a bag over your head and take you away. They must know what is going on. Probably collecting WiFi IP addresses. "FBI-VAN-007"

Has anyone seen anything on the RF remote ID component of this story? I have not.
I have seen zero, nada, on the following fact being reported or opined on.
The FAA requires positive drone ID much like an aircraft transponder for all legal flight. The only exception less than .55lbs.
Legal flight, data blocks must originate from UAV while in flight, includes registration information, serial number, take off point lat long, present lat long of both AC and operator, speed, altitude, heading and more!
The feds and state have devices that decode this data. It is done every weekend at the the Meadowlands. You fly there you will be caught, quickly.
Why is there silence on this fact?
If they are friendly, they must broadcast “DroneRemoteID”. Therfore everything about the flight is known.
If they are unfriendly and blocking or not transmitting RID, they are unfriendly. Friend or Foe?

Are any TGs especially active on NJICS of those following and tracking these drones? Just want to make sure I have them programmed in.

Here is a general explanation on the RF Bands and exchange of data occurring.

Are these drones not transmitting the required RID? Doubt it, I guess its a possibility or they all got a waiver👀.

NJSP aviation helicopters switched to encrypted talk groups after the discussions started about the drones.

The FAA has a website for waivers to certain drone rules. There are numerous ones. Specifically for nightime flying and remote pilot observation. I found it weeding around, but forgot to book mark it. Anyway among the many waivers, most had a comment that they would not transmit any ADSB messages. The companies were varied, most seemed to be in the "aerial lighting " business. Something is afoot at a federal level or they would reveal what the flights are about. There should be NOTAMs for these operations one would think.
