This is one of the funniest things that's happened in YEARS.... At least, it would be if it didn't give me such concern for our future. It's like collectively, people have forgotten that there are things IN THE SKY. Every day. And there have been for years.
I've viewed the footage of every single reported done sighting I've been able to find anywhere, in normal media or randomly on line.
Every SINGLE piece of footage I've seen - literally, every SINGLE one - has been easily identifiable as a manned aircraft. The vast majority have been airliners. You can see the airline insignia in the logo lights!
Now, I've worked as an airline captain for almost 30 years, so I get it, I'm more used to seeing airplanes in the sky at night than the average person. But still. How does this kind of mass delusion come about? Do people really just NEVER look up?!
Eventually, someone will get some video of an actual drone. Because I mean, they do exist. People do fly them. And the conspiracists will feel vindicated, and this will perpetuate, and they will ignore the fact that all the other footage which supposedly shows a wide scale event is just airliners .. and it will be painful.
I'm pretty glad I don't have EWR on my schedule this month or next... These idiots are going to be shooting at airliners soon.
