Yes, I've worked on and around airplanes all my life, and they can be difficult to recognize under some conditions. I stood on the front porch of my house and watched a small plane with its landing lights on fly directly toward me at low altitude, and the glare from the lights was so bad that it could not be identified visually until it was overhead, and there was no sound from the engines until it had passed overhead.
