Maybe, but I think there’s something much more insidious going on here than a random person with weird delusions. I think this is a symptom of the panic narrative that’s being boosted all over the world by far-right parties and candidates, social media, and incompetent - or at least misguided - news networks.
If you keep hearing about how the big evil is all around you - it’s your neighbors that looks different, your colleagues with a weird accent - and that that evil is coming to get you sooner rather than later, then when you see something that looks different than usual, what are you gonna think it is? The big evil you’ve been hearing so much about, of course.
This time, it’s some old lady thinking paragliders are Hamas, but many times it’s some other people saying “the gays” are trying to spread communism and infect the children.
