strange white aircraft?

What is that white, tubular, low-flying aircraft that has been flying around Burke? Looks kind of like a flying go-cart?

John, I have no idea. There are lot of strange aircraft in our skies. Some are, uh, pretty amazing to say the least. I can only tell you two things. 1) People often post here about strange, flying objects. 2) They always get the same responses, and those responses will offer you nothing.

Ignore the invalid above me, John. Even if he knew where the shift button was, he wouldn't know how to use it for proper spelling and grammar. If he does, he is too lazy to push a simple fucking button. The FAA regulations and safety measures for non-military flying drones have not been implemented yet, and military drones are usually not flown over residential areas because of other safety issues.

A flying go-kart sounds like a perfect description of an ultra-light aircraft:

Is this what you've been seeing? (Except colored white?) If not, can you submit a report to us here at MUFON? http://www.mufon.com/

I saw a propcopter like this flying over Springfield on Tuesday.

I have also seen a drone flying over I66 around Fairfax city.

Are you concerned? Has the ship caused you harm? Do you fear for your life. Has the craft threatend you in any way?
Our advise is to go about your business as if nothing is occurring. Nothing is occurring! You are safe.

Quoting myself since I forgot I could just listen to radio reference- they got the suspect at the Navy Federal Credit Union now- he was wearing all black and there may have been a gun involved if i heard right...glad they got him!

The chopper is gone now, at least. Now I can open my windows back up.

I live in Burke va off of Burke Rd and there is definitely some type of commercial or military drone flying exact pattern for hours on end. Been watching for a while and has been flying for maybe over a month around the same time. It's flying right now. You can hear the distinct humming sound which tells me it's propeller based. My theory it's government or new drone test flights. Not sure if anyone knows please let me know

The one over Burke is NOT a drone it is the government doing surveillance. Call the FAA that is what I was told. By the way there is another thread on this already.
