After all it has often been well-trained professional personell confirming such sightings: airliner pilots, military pilots, radar operators and traffic operators... The chance to catch a fast movin object in the atmosphere with an astronomic telescope of big size, is almost nil. The focus set for the distant stars could prevent an object close by to even be visible (if you have a refractor objective for your SLR camera, try it), and the telescope covers just a microscopi ammount of all visible sky above you.
