Great read & education on data capture & analysis methods used. 😀 What set them off (at least in part):
“The team obtained an internal email showing that all state interior ministries were instructed to give uniform responses to questions about drone sightings. Coordinated stonewalling.”

“Coordinated stonewalling” - what a concept! Of course, there could be deeper games being played here. Remote covert surveillance could have been snuck on board when the ‘token inspections’ were carried out… Military installations could run out fake weaponry (cardboard rockets, painted sets) when the foreign drones appear… All is maybe not quite what it appears to be… Still a fantastic piece of work by the student team. 🙏🏻
