The military has corridors where they can do their testing and this is an area where military traffic doesn't fly. Military jets are very loud, especially at the altitude in question, and an A-10 releasing flares would have been easily heard. But thanks for making assumptions about an event you had no information on. I can see how this thread is going to go and why people would not share anything of interest in regards to what they experience.
With the development in autonomous and non-autonomous drone technology, it is puzzling to me why the first assumption would be anything other than military technology.
