March 7, 2008 Hartshorne, Oklahoma, and Van Buren, Arkansas -
A year ago on May 11, 2007, Coast to Coast AM webmaster, Lex, received an email letter with several images attached of an odd, dragonfly-shaped, aerial object from a Central California resident who called himself “Chad.” The images were dated May 6, 2007. In addition to the dragonfly-shaped body that had appendages sticking out from a large ring, there was another odd feature. Rising from the ring straight up into the air were slightly curved, thin wires that formed a tall, circular crown above the dragonfly body. Chad was worried about his family's safety and health after he saw the bizarre aerial object at least eight times from his house and on hikes near his home. Neighbors, he said, had also seen the unidentified aerial object.
Other photographs of dragonfly-shaped aerial objects began to emerge between May and June 2007 from Lake Tahoe, Capitola and Big Basin, California – all with appendages sticking out from a ring and the tall, thin wires extending high above.
By June 17, 2007, I received a dozen paper photographs dated June 5th, 2007, in post office mail. The new “drone” looked more menacing and more complicated than the others. I had taken to calling the objects “drones” because eyewitnesses had the impression that the hovering craft were not manned. The dozen photographs were from a man who called himself “Ty B.” Ty explained he photographed the large, dragon-fly craft while bicycling with a group in the Big Basin Redwood Park near Saratoga, California. He said they all saw the dragonfly-shaped craft fade in and fade out three times above them. It was on the third fade in that Ty was able to take twelve photos, which he mailed to me.

A new drone sited March 10, 2008 Albuquerque, New Mexico “This object floated above the river for maybe less than 30 seconds, rotating slightly, then winking out. My wife freaked out because we were still about 40 minutes from takeout and had know where to go. We paddled over to the side and sat in the woods for about 20-30 minutes, but the mosquitos were eating us alive, so we got back in the water. I got one photo off before it dissapeared. About 10 seconds before it dissappeared, another circle thing seemed to pop out of the center, which is when my wife started screaming at me to take a picture, and that's what you see. I really don't want to know what it was, because to this day it gives us the creeps, but since I saw the other one my wife thought it might be best to share the experience. I'm not going to mention the name of the river because our cabin is near there."
