To be clear:

Assume this to be true: "These mystery drones are allegedly the size

drone, and likely to do serious damage if they're anything like what
spotters have described."

Who made them?

Commercial sized drones are not that size, but for the military, the
MQ-C Gray Eagle is a bit larger, and they aren't cheap.

When looking up in a clear sky, an aircraft's dimensions change as a
function of distance to the observer.  At night, there tends to be no
reference frame to know how far away an object is located.
