Judging from the posts I’ve seen, others have already started. Someone had a drone with a lit Roman candle going the other day. Or it was FAA compliant aliens.

  Welcome to hacker News! Yes, we find ignorance funny. I think people adding fuel to the fire are the ones freaking out about aliens or Iranian mother ships. Pointing out that the this is a hysteria event is more akin to pouring water on the flames.

    No, it is not "Hacker News" to paint a large swath of people as "ignorant". The proper way would have been to publish a detailed, technical analysis and present your ideas along with your proof to the greater community and facilitate a discussion.

      My guy, there are government officials that are sharing photos of the Orion constellation stating that it's a drone swarm just standing there over their property...

      I like your optimism. Personally, I have found that, if someone freaks out about "alien drones", trying to facilitate a discussion is almost futile.

      Large swathes of people are ignorant, though. It's just that now they can demonstrate that loudly on social media.

      I want to live in this world, where we're all part of a larger collective endeavor to discover the truth, to be more informed, learn continuously, and evolve together. That's the old-school philosophy and mission of science for the betterment of humanity.
