Yes - but no one was claiming that this drone, if that's what it was, was flying at 100 mph. The pilot was merely noting that as the legal speed limit for sUAS operations, and that therefore the potential exists for a 200 mph impact with even a small aircraft such as his. In that he was completely correct. He underestimated the likely mass of a such an aircraft though - all UAVs capable of those speeds and altitudes that I'm aware of weigh rather more than a baseball, which is only 150 g.
I simply cannot see how this report is sensationalism or theatrics. It was a simple account of what he reported and his concerns (accurate) about the hazard that it represented.
