No drones?

@JoeMcConn There might have been drones, but none of the aircraft location reporting services I have access to routinely report on drone locations.

I'm not even really sure that small commercial drones have to radio in their location (using #UAT or something similar) if they are low enough. Looks like "Remote ID" https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/remote_id is the magic word.

UAS Remote Identification | Federal Aviation Administration

Drones or unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are fundamentally changing aviation, and the FAA is committed to working to fully integrate drones into the National Airspace System (NAS). Safety and security are top priorities for the FAA and remote identification (remote ID) of drones is crucial to our integration efforts.
