Unfortunately the radar operators must now also be watching out for drones or 'flocks of drones'. Hard to tell the difference between that or a flock of Canadian geese.

This effect can EASILY be seen on weather RADAR in the evening, usually; as disk proceeds, ‘ground clutter’ appears out to a distance of 40 or so miles.
Sometimes, given a warm or cold front passage the ‘returns’ from ground/building clutter becomes much more pronounced, so, those factors should be considered for this event too.
re: “If we had been that alert in 1941 the Japanese never would have made it to Pearl Harbor.”
This would have required an ‘alertness’ on several levels including the observing RADAR station (which at the time was just being commissioned), a fighter detail on alert at the airbase, etc.

I posted on an earlier thread:
A few drones with reflectors on them flying in formation could pass as a B-52. Fly toward the capitol for few minutes and disperse.
