FAA reports steady increase of near-miss incidents involving drones and aircraft across Las Vegas
The reports cover a span of years between 2014 to 2018 and show 95 reported drone sightings in the Las Vegas area. Dr. Walach said the number of reported drone sightings to the authorities is on pace to double in 2018 compared to the previous year. (www.ktnv.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The number of sightings would go down if they drones were software limited to 200' AGL and inoperable within 5 miles of an airport, of any sort.
No surprise to me.. i lived 1/2 mile south of LAS runway 25L i called out and reported many drones over my house and even closer to sunset blvd which runs directly next to the runways.. cops were aware but didnt know what to do.. as people were gone before they could get caught.. this must be handeled electronically to force drone activity away for arpts..
No surprise here, either. This was happening a lot with balloon activity over in Sunset Park off of Sunset and Eastern back in the early-mid 2000s when I was primarily living in Vegas. Same still happens now, and used to happen when that golf course and RV park was on the other side of Tropicana across from the approach end of the 19s.
The problem here is ignorance of the laws on the part of both the drone operators and the LEOs, and the police need to bone up on that and enforce it, otherwise more laws are going to pop up for it with harsher punishments.

Those aren't drones in Vegas. They're element-115 powered anti-gravity prototype vehicles which occasionally stray too far south from Area 51
They actually mean "near-hit" when they write "near-miss."
"I nearly missed my flight" means I actually caught the flight. Would you rather be nearly-saved or nearly-drowned?
It's time that the "near miss" language was dropped and "near hit" used.
