Frank, You may be correct. I read the article, and the cause could have been any number of things, but my thought is Pilot error.
The article stated an onlooker said the plane was too low, then turned 90 degrees and belly flopped into the house, I think he panicked , tried to turn, and stalled without the correct airspeed. Just my thought on this article. This article possibly could have been associated with a drone, but I don't think so now.
