No flimsier than the original drone-claim headline. Contrary to popular conception, most airline pilots are very poor at recognising anything that isn't in their company fleet. A few are aircraft enthusiasts, a few are bird spotters. The remainder have knowledge of unexpected flying objects no better than most laymen and a lot worse than a school-age plane spotter. I used to run aircraft recognition training for a local cadet squadron. The 'pro-pilots' were uniformly awful.
