whoa! I think I just saw my first military grade drone.

Went to a barbecue in st Pete beach. We were in the patio and a drone that looked like a miniature cargo helicopter with four propellers hovered over us for a few seconds. Definitely expensive looking. The guy who lived there said it was snooping the day before too. Said he expected it was big enough to trigger the radar at macdill. I waved when I saw it because I first assumed it belonged to someone they knew, but seriously, how rude.

1. How big was it?

Can you find any pics online that match it?

3. I am going to look when I get home.

Looked cylindrical:tubular - 18x9

5. I've seen pics of those...

Some are white with props on the end of 2 X shaped white tube-looking parts.
Saw pic of one that looked like the big Chinook helicopters props on top fore and aft, much smaller of course.

7. This one was flat gray, but you're right about the Chinook shape.

2. No place to go for personal privacy.

Could be a Amazon delivery drone.

9. Open the same link, go to the bottom of the photos and hit " see more"

Checkout all the large drone images to see if any match what you saw.

11. Lots to look at, but I didn't see a match

The drone I saw was perfectly cylindrical and smooth.
