For some strange reason I am reminded of an acquaintance who lives about a block away from my wife and I, and whom we have known for some decades.

She is all tooted up about drones—and she started on this about a year ago. "They"—are spying on her! She knows it! She has seen small drones hovering outside her window. And she KNOWS! THEY are ARE spying on her!

She spent some time in a mental hospital a few years back. Multiple personality disorder. Presumably she is currently "integrated," but from time to time and on certain subjects she is very paranoid. She can't offer any explanation as to who is spying on her, or why. But she's certain. She has SEEN these tiny "drones" hovering outside her window.

Well, during some seasons, Barbara and I see small objects hovering outside our windows. Actually, I've observed them closely. There is a garden outside our window. And a garden outside this woman's window.

Hummingbirds.
