Cops warn mystery swarms of up to 30 drones with 6ft wingspans are spreading across states and could pose a danger to planes – but tell residents NOT to shoot them down…(Just NE Of Me!)
Dozens of giant drones with at least six-foot wingspans have now been spotted in five counties in Colorado and one county in neighboring Nebraska
Law enforcement agencies in all six jurisdictions say the drones usually take to the skies between the hours of 6 and 10 pm
One Colorado resident claims he spotted up to 30 large drones at one time
The size and sheer number of the flying objects appears to rule out a hobbyist

Residents in six counties across two states are now being left baffled by large drones that are being spotted flying across the sky each night.
On Monday, law enforcement officials in the Colorado counties of Phillips and Yuma reported that they had clocked a total of 17 drones travelling in their airspace since December 16.
Now, sightings have spread to three other counties in Colorado, and a neighboring county in southwest Nebraska.
Washington County Sheriff Jon Stivers told KDVR on Saturday that locals in his jurisdiction have been spotting the flying objects between the hours of 6 and 10 pm.
‘I’ve had reports of anywhere from 6 to 12 [drones],’ he stated.
‘One person believed it to be more than 12, close to 30. It seemed like several of them were flying together, in 3 or 4 pairs’.
The drones have estimated wingspans of at least six-feet.
Stivers later told The Denver Post that he had been warning local residents not to shoot the drones out of the sky, telling them that to do so would be a violation of federal law.
