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.
