Are there REALLY drones over Portland?

I was shopping at New Seasons in Slabtown this morning when a seemingly-put together woman was gleefully going from person to person, telling them that last night she saw "the drones hovering above Portland," and that "it's not just New Jersey anymore!" while her husband/partner/poor unfortunate soul stood by looking dead inside. She tried to engage me and I shot it down pretty quickly as I'm deathly allergic to Bored White Women with no Real Problems, but I have to confess when I got home I did do a google search. It brought up nothing.

So... has anybody else heard about some sort of phenomenon in the sky over the past couple of days?
