Oh, for cryin' out loud. The case may or may not have been debunked. Just because some photos were proven to be fakes doesn't mean it's all a big
hoax; it just means that pranksters got in on the act, and/or a disinformation operation is being conducted to make you think there's nothing at all
to any of these sightings. As far as I'm concerned, the jury's still out.
Regarding this alleged RC vehicle, would you care to provide a link to the thread in question? I personally have flown a wide variety of RC airplanes,
helicopters, and UFOs, and I guarantee you there is no way an RC aircraft could be made to fly without it looking significantly different from the
objects in the drone photos.
Yes, there are hobby-grade RC UFO toys and there are RC aerial photography and surveillance platforms available for use by professional
photographers and law enforcement, but very few of them are in any way asymmetrical, as most of the drones are.
Furthermore,
all RC aircraft (with the exception of certain gliders, which look a lot like conventional airplanes or flying wings) are held
aloft by spinning propellers or ducted-fan jet engines. No such structures are visible in the drone photographs. Propellers spinning at a high enough
RPM would tend to be blurred to the point of near-invisibility, but they would still have to be anchored to some sort of nacelle. Again, no such
structures are visible in any of the drone photos.
