Thing is Foxy, when you come across all know it all on a subject and put down those with different views, it would help if when it turns out the others were probably more clued up than you, if you showed some humility. But nope, you go straight back to picking holes. FFS Get a life

Have you even looked at the pictures?

Leaving aside the childish comments for a moment, This is unsolved so far but have to say a Drone comes high up the list of possibilities on this one, it certainly wasn't a bird
