Drones over Mülheim?


Yesterday, this thing appeared over the inner city with a loud, whining buzz shortly after the Germany-France football match had ended. Not a good photo, more a record shot – but if this is not a quadcopter drone, I don’t know what it is! It actually hovered stationary slightly east of us and then flew off first to the North and then to the East.
