At 5000' they are doing 180-210 kts. And yes you can see a multi rotor at that speed. Just as you can identify birds and helium balloons when you pass them as well.
You guys want to bury your heads in the sand. You're not going to see pictures or video. Pilots are busy with the approach. Not pulling out their cell phones to take pictures. Not to mention Lufthansa pilots have no reason to make this up. They have no ulterior motives. If they say they saw a drone then I 100% believe them.
