A UFO sighting.

Ok, I know, two posts in one day.

I am going to relate an experince I had back in the late 80s.
A friend and I were driving back to or small town from the city after having been at the cinima, can not remember what we saw, does not matter.

We pulled off a long country road on to another long country road that run towards the coast. In the distance we could see the flashing light of an aircraft, maybe out over the ocean. As we drove towards the coast the aircraft appeard to be heading towards us.
It was then heading towards us very fast. It shot by very high and very fast. I stopped quickly and we both got out to see if we could spot the aircraft.

To our minds we had seen a high altitude aircraft heading at an extremely fast speed head from the coast, towards us and then past.

We both stood on each side of the car stareing at an arcing electric fence about 30 metres behind the car and up on a bank.

There was silence for awhile, and then my friend said "That was fucken freaky".

So why raise this, well simple, if we had chosen not to stop, instead driving on, we would have seen or fast aircraft disappearing in the mirror. And we would have wondered what on earth was travelling so fast and so high.

Instead we investigated. And a simple explanation was found for what we saw.

Without an explanation, our perception of what we saw would have been so far off as to be rediculas.

Cheers AK.
