I've done umpteen interviews and what was said and what has been printed are often wholly different. The true question to ask is. Why didn't they
quote on her that part of the story , when they did the rest?. The natural conclusion one arrives at, is that, the reporter made a mistake and didn't
ask her or misheard her answer and the editor wanted some background so added their assumption, hence no quotation marks, so she has no comeback, if
they are wrong.
As it stands at the moment, this would seem to be either, a genuine sighting, or a quite deliberate hoax. I don't think it's a misidentification.
The details, about the objects distance, suggest, serious cognitive thought went into this. Therefore, it's either real or a total scam.
