It's a Bird! It's a Plane! No, It's… a Drone, or a Hoax

|

A YouTube video purporting to show a drone in the skies outside Chicago a week before the NATO Summit has made it all across the internet and even to a local CBS affiliate.

The video, below, hasn't been confirmed by anyone, and the military says it doesn't recognize the markings. Only a few years ago, the best a video like that could hope for is to be picked up for a documentary on UFOs or something. It shares many of the same elements as countless hoax UFO videos on YouTube. It's likely a hoax too, but because the idea that drones are indeed coming to American airspace isn't, this video's caught the imagination of bloggers and reporters alike.

UPDATE: Via Commenter Jingles, what looks very much like the source image for the drone "in" the video.
