I bought a drone to to capture some images here in Jalisco, but due to cartel activity, I couldn't fly it . so I just kept it on its box for a few months until I got chance to go to vacations to my hometown in Veracruz when I went to visit my great grandparents in a small village.
I was there visiting my great grandparents and cousins, who happen to be teenagers and they were amazed by the drone I brought. so we went on to fly it and show them how we could see from the ipad in real time where it was flying and what it was seeing from the top. We got back to the house and my grandpa was there and told me that he had seen those before back in his days. I asked him when it was that and he said it was back around the 1940s. I thought he was just joking, but he is a pretty dead serious old man, who served in the mexican revolution with pancho villa, la famosa bola, that's what they were called back them, "the bola". I asked him how did he know it was a drone.
He said he and his brothers used to herd cows back then, and back then it was legal to carry guns, shotguns and everything needed to protect your cattle from thieves or wolves. So he was out with his brothers taking care of the herd and saw something weird that was above them and it hummed really hard, so they thought it was some kind of weird bird and they started shooting it, he and his brothers. When the drone saw it was being shot at, the drone started shooting back, obviously, they didn't know it was a drone, they thought it was a weird bird.
