Sightings

Seen a delivery drone or robot? Tell us where and when. Reports go into a moderation queue first, and they are labeled as community evidence if published.

Report a sighting

We keep only the city and state. Please do not enter street addresses.

Markings, direction and anything that helps a reviewer. Avoid names, faces and plate numbers.

Photo uploads open once metadata stripping and face and plate blurring are in place. Text reports only for now.

This copy has no database connected. Reports are validated but not stored.

This copy of the Atlas runs on the Oct 22, 2026 research snapshot without a database, so there are no stored community reports to show. We will not fill this space with examples.

Cameras

No public cameras verified

We have not found and checked any public camera feed that could be used to spot delivery drones or robots. Rather than show placeholder video, this section explains what is missing.

Status

Unavailable

0 cameras connected. 0 frames stored. Checked Oct 22, 2026. The research plan marks camera sightings as deferred, and whether they belong in the Atlas at all is still an open decision.

Why cameras are on hold

  • Privacy

    Traffic and street cameras record people, faces and plates. Pulling frames to spot robots means processing images of bystanders who never agreed to it.

  • Coverage bias

    Cameras sit where cities put them, mostly at busy intersections. Counts would track where cameras are, not where robots operate, and would make covered areas look busier than the rest.

  • Identity

    A frame rarely shows who runs a vehicle. Guessing an operator from a blurry shape would create claims we cannot source.

What a camera would need

  • The camera is run by a public agency and its feed is published for public use.
  • The agency's terms allow automated viewing and storing derived counts.
  • Frames are not stored, or faces and plates are blurred before anything is kept.
  • Detections are shown as community evidence and never change an operator's status.
  • Charts state which cameras were watched and when, so more cameras are not mistaken for more robots.

What you will not see here

  • Sample or stock footage presented as a live feed.
  • Private doorbell or security cameras.
  • Timestamps, counts or trends without a real camera behind them.
