1. Noise and nuisance complaints about drones in the parks? How about crying babies and screaming small children? With parents screaming at their misbehaving kids? People riding Harleys? Apparently there is the usual hypocrisy from the powers at be. Lighten up, cannot you people stop being so self centered and realize that we all enjoy different things and the world dose not revolve around you.

   1. The article did mention that someone had crashed a drone into one of the thermal pools in ’14, but I agree that they are not as annoying as some other things. At the least they could try to limit the number of busloads of Asians (sarcasm, kinda).

2. Viewed video of “artillery shell” noted many irregularities that drew doubt on the identification;shape is off for arty projectile(they are more”aerodynamic” like a high velocity rifle bullet not a low velocity round nosed pistol bullet,no fuse or fuse cavity on nose,”dent” on side had what appears to be a mounting “hole” like it was to be attached to something,arty shells are cast and filled with explosives or submunitions and would be very hard to”dent” it more likely to split if impacted that hard,next are the holes or ports around the circumference of the base and the base that appear to be for the shell to be for a rocket or booster or aerodynamic stabilty(the M549A1 Rocket Assisted Projectile has a booster it is a single port in the base of the projectile). These characteristics lead me to believe this was not artillery projectile but a wing mounted munition/accessory for a aircraft(rocket booster,electronic pod?). I would ask any Airwing or AirForce vets to examine the video to identify this object and prevent unnecessary concern
