Drones

There are 3 places in Missouri where you flying a drone will get you in big trouble and maybe even federal prison.

There were multiple great performances at the Faurot Field in Columbia, Missouri this past week. First, there was the Missouri Tiger football team that put on a show against helpless Murray State. Then, there was the spectacular drone halftime show that you can see thanks to a video capture of the event.

Thanks to a Missouri drone wizard, a truly electrifying lightning storm over Missouri was captured on video and it's unlike any thunderstorm viewpoint you've ever seen.

It's really a genius idea if you think about it. What better way to battle those evil and sometimes deadly mosquitos that swarm in Missouri summers than an aerial weapon? Answer - drones and it could happen because it's already being done.

Laws are having to evolve with fast-developing technology. Don't believe me? Did you know that there are now laws about where you can and cannot fly a drone and that includes specific rules involving the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri. It is possible, but the exceptions are rare.

This is they time of year when it's more common than not to see people wearing camo in Missouri. Hunting season is upon us and this year it involves a question thanks to new technology. Can you legally use a drone to hunt wildlife in Missouri? The answer is more complicated than you probably think.

Police departments around America are using technology in their efforts to fight crime. That's not new. However, the use of drones as a first response tool is new and is now being tested in an Illinois town.

If you have lived in the Midwest as long as I have, you have no doubt seen some incredible lightning displays. But, I bet you've never seen a bolt as massive as the one a photographer just captured on video with his drone over Missouri.

Mysterious drones have been in the news again. This is not new to the Midwest as there are numerous reports of strange encounters. So far, no one seems to know where they came from or why they've disappeared.

Disclaimer: I am not interested in political things and I don't intend this to be anything like that. However, I am interested when the government does things that are funny. I'm hoping that's the case with this. They spent money to reassure you that birds are real. Really.
