Overconfidence in one’s own perception seems to be one of the main drivers of the “drone” and broader UFO phenomenon. There’s the routine insistence that “I know what I saw!” You can literally observe it here on Reddit with the continuous stream of ufo / uap / “drone” reports, of which this is just one of many. The fact that you are using the word “drone” to refer to something you think you saw and can’t identify already shows how you are applying imagination onto your fallible human perception in exactly the same way as all of the many, many people who see something they can’t identify and imagine it’s a “drone.”

This is something that is happening at scale and that a lot of people are doing. Someone needs to study you people and figure out what’s going on psychologically.
