  • OK, but

    I really liked Gabe’s overall presentation and was drawn-in by the mystery but ultimately there are no answers. It’s basically a series of episodes about unidentified drones: it is a UFO? Is it a government secret project? Is it something more sinister? No… it’s just drones - the only “mystery” is who is flying them and we never get to know.
