weird drone

[tycomps]

I was fishing the Raritan at Sellers today when I heard a weird sound behind me. It sounded like an electric wheelchair so I figured someone had one on the paved path above me. The sound stayed in one place so I turned to look and there was a white drone with a red flashing light hovering about a hundred feet over the parking lot. I figured someone nearby was flying it so I waved at it and went back to fishing. The sound got louder so I turned to look again and it had dropped lower. Here's where things get weird. It hovered there for about a minute then shot off over the river and eventually disappeared in the distance. I'd say conservatively it covered a quarter mile in 5 seconds and disappeared over a mile away. That's 180 mph and it didn't accelerate it just went! What kind of drone does that and how can it be controlled from over a mile away without line-of-sight?

apparently they've gotten quite sophisticated, blew my mind!
