Paris Is Freaking Out Over These Mysterious Drones [Video]

How do you scare a French person? Fly five drones over some of Paris' main attractions in the dead of night. Oh, and a quick fly-over of the US Embassy does the trick too.

We often bring you guys brilliant, beautiful and sometimes weird footage filmed by drone users the world over. We have also brought you stories of drones being used for some less pleasant means such as drug delivery and marketing purposes.

I suppose then it was only a matter of time until there was a terrorism freak out. Enter Paris, where five drones were reportedly seen flying above some sensitive areas of the city. This from CNN:

The unmanned aerial vehicles were spotted over the Eiffel Tower, the Bastille, Place de la Concorde, Les Invalides and the U.S. Embassy.

Now there is no evidence as of yet that points towards terrorism but the city has been on high alert since the Charlie Hebdo attacks last month.

See the video up top for CNN’s analysis of the incident.
