Seeing the videos/photos it was obvious some of them weren't even drones, they were commercial aircraft.

Drones can be fixed-wing aircraft.
Sure but it was obvious that a number of the pictures were actual planes, often corroborated by the photograph being taken directly next to an airport takeoff/landing flight path.
It was obvious to any educated observer that a number of the claimed "Drones" were actually Airbus A320 aircraft being operated by American Airlines. The photos where clear enough to see the American Flag paint scheme on the tail. Yet still conspiracy idiots continue to defend these misidentifications. Some of them are out there with firearms even.
I recall something about dear leader Trump telling them to shoot the drones out of the sky.
Ah, gotcha!
