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.

Here is a link to another story on this, with a blurry video. Ha, just like all the real UFO videos. I saw it just before I came here to post it and all ready had the link copied.

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