In December, 2003, at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, it's just after sunset, and something

base. Some had lights, some didn't. They would fly in this kind of formation and then split off.

Their size varied.

Some were big, we're talking like the size of a car.

Senior military commanders would scramble onto rooftops with binoculars and night vision goggles

highly technologically advanced Air Force base

could figure out what was going on, or at least

they certainly wouldn't say it publicly.

10, 15 years ago, drones were basically considered toys, or at least they certainly weren't on

most people's radar. Today, they are everywhere, physically, but also in the news. They are
