Indeed. The public are so gullable with regard to what they hear. Here is a good example from a few years ago.
Drone in ‘near miss’ with passenger plane carrying 62 people
The drone is reported as "flying alongside the aircraft".
Well the approach speed of an ATR 72 (the aircraft involved) is around 140 kts, which is 160 mph. That's some drone to be able to fly at that speed.
That's why we have an uphill struggle with our hobby
