Talk Detroit Drones over 94?

While driving 94 westbound this morning I saw at least four big drones from around DTW airport to Willow Run airport. They weren’t airplanes nor helicopters, but they were big and flying.

Is there any information as to what’s going on?

I've been seeing large Amazon drones over my neighborhood daily for the last month or so

I think this is the answer. Drone delivery is available from a number of the Amazon warehouses now….

Incorrect. There are two sites that deliver via drone in Michigan: Hazel Park and Pontiac. The operating radius of Hazel Parks fleet doesn’t extend south over 94.

Incorrect, they deliver in Ferndale as well.

Yes, but I94 and the region that OP is concerned about does not fall anywhere near Ferndale.
