I would be surprised to find out that hobbyist or commercial drone pilots are responsible for flying up to aircraft and flying near airports. .I think there are a ton of bogus reports. Of all of the hundreds and hundreds of reports to the FAA, not one picture of a "near miss" or whatever has been shown. Not even from someones cellphone to prove that it was a UAV.
I know when I'm flying my airplane (private pilot) I sometimes think I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It usually turns out to be eye floaters, which the eye doctor says are those dark spots in your eye ball that move around.
maybe from time to time you'd hear of a novice pilot making a mistake and flying to close to aircraft but to hear about it on the news almost every day just doesn't make sense. .
people who don't know much about drones know that you shouldn't fly near aircraft. ..
