It struck me recently that the current drone panic in the USA is oddly familiar.
Then I remembered where I had seen it before. In reports from the 1960s and 1970s when there were floods of UFO sightings. They even had a word for it: "A UFO Flap".
That is what we are seeing now. A Drone Flap. 50% misidentification of common objects (weather balloons, aircraft, Venus), 49% mass hysteria, .99% legit drones being used for perfectly legal purposes, and .001% something else.

Are there drones? Yes. Mostly hobbyist but a few real ones, at least at the begining around a month ago.
Are the real drones still around? Probably not, no confirmed sightings in weeks and other similar events were 2-3 weeks long.
Did I see a drone? No.
How could I mistake something for a drone? If you're on any medication or drugs, or are stupid, or don't use flight radar - extremely easily.
