I've seen a few spectacular displays while on the water at
night and they really get your attention. One was so bright that it
lit up the entire sky and was visible through the mainsail while
streaking from horizon to horizon in a few seconds. It left a glowing
trail behind it that stayed visible for a short while after it was
gone.



That was just Gene in his modified Cessna.

In the 1960s, I was returning from Junction City, Kansas, with a buddy
whose dad was stationed in the Army near there. It was very late, maybe
2 am, when we both saw two very bright lights in the sky moving very
rapidly. We both immediate said, "UFOs!!!" For a few minutes we were
really scared, but they passed over the horizon.

In those days, I don't know about now, there were very few city or town
lights way out there in the middle of nowhere, so I doubt they were
reflected lights. They were going much too fast to be jets.

UFOs.
