Please excuse my sub-par JavaScript, I am a backend dev.
All you need to do is paste this into Tampermonkey and enter your username and your instance url (on two locations).
This is not showing other users' scores and it doesn't make your score visible to anyone else than yourself.
So no need for karma farming. This is just for fun.

A squadron of military planes is a bit hard to come by as a private person.
But I wonder if people would also be that fascinated after 25+ years if I flew some DJI drones at 1-2km height in the night with bright LEDs on their bottom and dropped some pyrotechnics from them.
This has been confirmed independently multiple times as two groups of A-10 military aircraft dropping flares with parachutes for training purposes.
And still you see videos titled "Still no answers 26 years after the lights appeared over the valley". Well, no answer that these guys want to hear.
And what it looked like is quite easy to check, since there are tons of photographs of that incident.
