At night we can hear aircraft almost as if circling, stationary but outside nothing can be seen. Have caught late night A2A refueling traffic but wonder if we're hearing Drone Aircraft anyone know any drone comms if possible even? I know dumb Question.

Yeppers, have to give us more information about your location oh, how are your monitoring? Are you on the East Coast, West Coast. A few facts that might be important, relative to your post. Got to keep it relatively.



I'm monitor a lot of aircraft on the east coast of the United States and in the Philadelphia to New York area. I'm under all of the TV news stations news desk dispatch and the aviation frequencies for copter to copter. They will hover as directed.

Try checking ADS-B exchange for your area; I have no idea if these type of drones use ADS-B or get assigned squawk codes, but it doesn't hurt to check...
