On the other hand, we just witnessed a nationwide drone panic, and not for a lack of video evidence…

An odd phenomenon being rare and hard to document is neither proof nor evidence of absence for it existing.

I think it's telling that said panic was short-lived, and to anyone watching the video, laughably silly. Unless you're a psychologist studying the dynamics of digital crowds, it probably isn't very interesting at all.

By contrast that same "panic" would probably have been framed as UFO's and an alien invasion pre-smartphone era.
