UGH ! When will they learn - no evidence yet again. Just a pilot crying wolf!
The info in this article - so the pilot said they NEARLY hit a drone that was 100f below - but then somehow it was that they did hit the drone and it the plane was taken out of service to be inspected and nothing was found.
Starting to think that big bird pilots don’t like us much and feel that we are not pilots. MMM
Some more context and it seems JFK has a few issues
Seems that anything they see is automatically labelled as a drone 
Also the implication is always that it is a hobbyist drone, though at the altitudes they often state it’s much more likely to be military or police, if it is indeed a drone 
Pilots don’t have a problem with you. they have a problem with hitting a solid piece of metal at 200 mph. Unlikely to come through a window but you would be surprised at how thin the skin of an aircraft is. I was. I flew commercial jets for 30 years.
3000 feet seems quite high for a hobby/commercial drone. Not much to photograph/video up that high I would think. 
Or am I wrong? 
I think a quick search for “Drone Height Test” (or similar) would surprise you. Much like the ‘range test’ idiots, they walk among us.
Drones are in the media, airline pilots talk about them in staff rest rooms, and anything an airline pilot sees in the less than ½ second it is visible for at the speed they go is going to be a ‘drone’ for no better reason than that restroom scuttlebut does not feature wind-blown paper bags, bin liners, helium balloons, or anything else that might be around up there… ‘Shit, the fuck was that, must’ve been a drone, yeah, drone, report it as a drone, it was a drone’. Once that happens, o captain my captain is not going to change his mind because a) he’s a pilot, and he’s got a nice uniform to prove it as well as hundreds of hours flying experience, and he’s in command of his aircraft, ergo it behooves him to make a clear and instantaneous decision because that’s what they teach you about leadership on the training course, and b) for related reasons and building confidence and trust from his crew and passengers, he cannot countenance the concept that he’s wrong. And he absolutely, certainly isn’t going to listen to any of us!
Perhaps it was a drone. At angels 3 probably not, but we’ll never know. Been engaging on fb a bit recently, and Joe C is spot on, they really do walk amongst us, not sure most of them are looking where they are going, but they walk amongst us all right! Fortunately the FAA (in this case) and the CAA are becoming a bit more aware of the unlikelihood that airline pilot-reported drones are drones and are coming at their investigations from a more enlightened and less airiine pilot automatic acceptance pov, especially since the Noo Joisey dronepanic of early last year. Which, in all fairness was generated from ground ‘observers’ not anyone in the industry.
My default deze daze is that, if an airline pilot saw it at 3’000’ and several hundred mph, it was a balloon, rubbish bag, or other wind-borne debris, and that if somebody on the ground saw it at night, especially the po-po or a security bloke, it was an aircraft. This is usually the conclusion of the FAA/CAA investigators; military observers usually identify hostile operations from what we used to call back in the cold war days of my youth ‘a certain power’ (it rhymed with ‘usher’ but it wasn’t Prussia); and they may be right, especially the closer they are to the border of that certain power, but they are just as prone to drone-panic knee-jerk as the rest of them. Not certain I’m relaxed with the concept of knee-jerk reactions from people with access to nukes, but there you go…
Guilty but It was 2015/2016 
For a second there my brain read those antenna as something like the feet on those wind-up walking things you used to get…
Wondered what the heck they were for 
Aww, look at it’s sad little face..
Probably
If it was a drone in america it should have been emitting an RID as an RID is mandatory in the USA, so therefore air traffic control should have been tracking it. Assuming it was a drone then RID would of have to have been disabled or not present.
Both easily done.
