You're far from the first with that idea. But when they switch off their lights they're literally invisible. After that, who knows how far they go, and in which direction, before landing? Good luck with the hunt; Colorado is large and (mostly) sparsely populated.
If they're switching off their lights then how are the pilots navigating them? If they don't need lights then why ever fly with them to make them so visible? Assuming we're talking about some quadcopter or similar design they can't have a very large range and getting 20 drones landed and packed up is going to be a sizeable process. According to the first post a large number of people have seen these drones so from that alone they should be able to work out what flight paths these drones are operating and significantly narrow down where they are taking off and landing.
As with other similar drone news stories, the reported information doesn't make any sense and paints drones as near mythical devices.
