A method and system for installing warning spheres on utility power lines using existing commercial drones and an unique preassembled warning sphere with an inverted U shape opening in its lower half, one or more cable clamp in the upper part of the inverted U which matches the utility cable's diameter, number of strands and longitudinal spiral pitch. The warning sphere also has two receptacles in its circumference for catching the drones retractable landing gears fitted with matching bulges, enabling the safe lifting and flying of the sphere, The Drone also has a 3D stereoscopic camera which is integrated to its video system, thus enabling the precise navigating of the drone directly above the utility cable, and then directing the drone and sphere's U slot and cable clamp into the cable, either manually, or automatically through modulating of the sticks command of the remote control of the drone.
