Sorry for two posts close together - re: misidentification. I showed my wife, with no real interest in aviation, the pictures posted above. She said that, to her, they are "just planes". Only after some scrutiny could she see what appear to me to be obvious gross differences (different engines, wing shape and location, etc). Even if there was visual, which is unlikely due to the height, it is therefore possible that the same could have occurred at the time of this incident, bizarre as it may seem.
