I think this whole drone situation might be leading to a "District 9" moment

I'm on board with everyone that thinks this is the ETs way of acclimating the masses to their presence...if not, it's an effort to merely draw attention to the presence of something anomalous.

Just fly a shitload of unassuming drones over the skies of earth in populated areas as a precursor to the main event — a massive mothership parked off of one of our coasts.

But instead of just appearing, they'd likely begin their approach slowly from a great distance. Let the people of earth spot it at various distances at it closes in to reduce the shock.

PLEASE let this be the case! Maybe then everyone that's at war in the world will look up and realize there are more pressing things to tend to than fighting over fucking land.
