'In some cases we can say that they were not drones, but we're not done with all our questioning and reported incidents. But we should be able to arrive at some kind of result by the end of the week,' a senior police official, Per Engstrom, told the TT news agency. Police stressed they have not yet confirmed any alleged drone sightings, indicating a thorough ongoing investigation into the matter.
'I guess it's always like this when there's some kind of mass psychological effect, you start looking like 'what's that?', you look up into the sky more than you usually do and discover that there are lots of things moving around there,' said Engstrom, illustrating how heightened awareness can lead to misidentifications, a factor significantly contributing to false reports.
In January 2022, police received around 200 drone observations, several near power plants, within one week. Most of these turned out to be false alarms; airplanes, helicopters, satellites, and masts were often mistaken for drones, showcasing the challenge of distinguishing actual threats from benign activities.
