Every single one of those pictures, even the blurry ones, even the ones taken at night, all look like airplanes.

People aren't getting airplanes confused with drones because they look the same. People are getting worked up about drones because of collective paranoia, and then they are seeing what they want to see.

Your last sentence negated the first and only furthered my point. Moving lights in low visibility are open to a variety of interpretations.
