That's like saying that it's weird that there's an aircraft-shaped
shadow with red and green highlights that seems to be right on the
runway.


Nope, not the same at all. Control towers can control runway lights
and brightness. Therefore a pilot could easily think "Weird, they
don't have the lights on", but just say "Weird".
