    “Alien sighting”

    Was watching a plane go along the night sky, blinking away as they do. Then it stopped moving but kept blinking for about 5 seconds. Then shot straight down to the horizon leaving a little trail of light behind like a comet or something.

    Some star wars hyperspace bollocks or something

      Aircraft turned away from you while climbing away, making it appear stationary. Kick on some afterburners, and it’ll take off like a bat out of hell in front of a 200’ flame.

      I always wondered why Alien UFOs wouldn’t hide in plain sight as an airplane except for the fact that the blinking lights would surely alert air control that an unregistered plane was in air space right? But I dunno its an interesting idea and your story kind of aligns with the concept

      I dont understand why people think there are no alien ships in the skies. It must be some kind of psychological self preservation. All observations points towards alien life. They are in cave paintings even.

      So we are not alone. Now what? Cant do anything with that knowledge anyway. :)
