John Slaughter explained that identifying an aerial object can be challenging, stating, 'You can't just walk outside and say, 'Oh, that's not a drone.' All you can say is, 'I saw a light in the sky.' This emphasizes the difficulty in distinguishing between different types of aircraft based on mere visual observation, especially at night, leading to confusion and concern among residents.
According to Slaughter, 'A light is just a bright point. It might be 100 yards away, it could be literally 40 miles away, and it looks the same.' This highlights the challenges posed by seeing lights in the sky, making it hard for the public to assess their distance and, consequently, their nature - be it drone, plane or helicopter.
