I've seen them, so have thousands of others here. An acquaintance of mine has a $2,000 drone, not a toy by any means. He took it out when a drone was near his house, and said that it was several hundred feet above his limit.

When he takes his out, it can barely be seen at night sky, and his is the size of a coffee table. The ones being reported are significantly larger than his.
