JANUARY, 2020
The drone mystery
It was 10 p.m., on Jan. 6, when YNT staffer Eric Eckert went out to observe the skies after receiving many calls from individuals in the area regarding patterns of mysterious drones flying over the area. There had been reports in western Nebraska the week before, of the same, and it looked like the drones â whoever they belonged to â had finally arrived here.
Eckert is the digital director for the YNT â and somewhat of an expert in drones, videography and photography.
