Out-of-This-World Surveillance Drone Spotted at Super Bowl XLVII

You guys remember this from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back?



Well what the hell is this? I spotted it on an HD television -- very clear. Not swamp gas this time, my friends.



Can't wait to hear from the debunkers on this one.

LoL that's a camera suspended by wires. It provides a top angle and various camera angles for television. It is common in all NFL games.

They have been using these cameras sense 2001. They are called Skycams. I'm assuming you've never watched a Football game before.

That is the clearest capture of a high-tech drone I have ever seen. I'd really like to see someone debunk this. Clearly the government wanted the Ravens to win.

I bet it was armed and ready to take action if the game went the 49ers way.

I bet it was even equipped with a high-tech camera.

Yea, OK. A camera that just happens to look like the robot from Short Circuit. On invisible wire technology. I gotcha.

I do think that is swamp gas right next to the overhead camera that you are pointing to.

This has to be someone trolling , can't imagine it is anything else.

If only I could actually take a video of myself laughing and shooting myself at the same time and post it on here.

Do you have any images you can link for me. I am really intrigued by these "visitors". I wonder what interests their makers about football.

Skycam is a computer-controlled, stabilized, cable-suspended camera system. The system is maneuvered through three dimensions in the open space over a playing area of a stadium or arena by computer-controlled cable-drive system. It is responsible for bringing video game-like camera angles to television sports coverage. The camera package weighs less than 14 kg (30.86 lbs) and can travel at 13 m/s (29.08 mph). Invented in 1984 by Garrett Brown (also noted as the inventor of the Steadicam), Skycam was acquired by Winnercomm, Inc. in 2004. On January 12, 2009, Winnercomm was acquired by Outdoor Channel Holdings, Inc., parent company of the Outdoor Channel.[1]

Here you go, lots more vids on YouTube.

I think the idiocy around here is reaching breaking point. These camera's have been used in field games for years. How can the op not have seen them. (where do you think some of the viewing angles come from when watching a game?)

It boggles the mind.

For years and years, we watched football from the same boring angle.
Now it's interesting how video games have somehow influenced and dictated the way football is expericed.
These overhead cameras can follow the play just as if it were a video game and the NFL is now duplicating what Madden began dong years ago.

Yes, a surveillance camera that was invented in


that is as amazing as described. Invented by humans over 25 years ago. Some random science fiction right there.

That's what disappoints me about this site lately. People used to do their own research. "The truth is out there", so to speak.

Now you guys just believe anything you read on the Internet.

No, we are believing what we see everytime we watch a football game with our own eyeballs.
