    I know someone who was insistent that a Dash-8 propeller plane was actually a drone. By a commercial airport.

    Not hard to believe your theory when taking that into account.

      I’m in several local astronomy groups on FB. When we had the comet in the sky a couple of months ago, there were literally dozens of posts a day with pictures of airplane contrails at dusk asking if it was the comet. It actually shocked me how unobservant some people are - you’ve lived several decades just a few miles from three major international airports and you’ve never taken notice of what a plane looks like at dawn or dusk?

      I have less than zero faith in witness testimony.
