Telegraph.co.uk mistakes small drone for UFO!

That is just too funny! A post from UK newspaper Telegraph has the title: Russian protesters film UFO over Moscow and show a video with a small hexcopter drone, that shoot video like this

"Clearly not a helicopter, the silent UFO pulsated coloured lights and had five extended tendrils or pylons emanating from the body of the vehicle.."

Sounds spooky :P

WAHAHAHAHAAAA !

Luckily my neighbours know that I'm into this drone stuff and don't call the police every time I let them fly in my garden after sunset.

Very god example on how modern news "journalism" works. It is not about documenting fact, but making stories that sell.
