I wouldn't rule out a mass panic-type event.

See also the recent closure of Heathrow Terminal 4 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5ypl5grg24t

These drones have lights on at night. That doesn't sound too much like Russians to me. But maybe that's just what the Russians want me to think...

At least one of the videos published recently was likely of a school plane from Copenhagen Airtaxi, according to a Norwegian drone trade magazine: https://www.dronemag.no/dansk-droneobservasjon-kan-ha-vaert-...

There's footage of this incident, footage of monday's Copenhagen incident, and there were arrests in Oslo on monday for another incident over Oslo.

Where

In Oslo a 50 year old mand was arrested and his drone confiscated.

If the intent is to harass - lights on is the way to go, to make their presence very clearly known.

Don't get me wrong - at Gatwick there were many reports of people seeing drones with lights. The only problem is they weren't - they were seeing something else and reporting as seeing drones because they must have seen a drone - what else could it be?

Also lights on. Still thinking coincidence?
