Yes, it's sad but true that there aren't any aliens floating around our neighbourhood. I have been looking up for 43 year now - got my first Tasco in 1967 - and have the pattern recognition skills to know what most things are - planes, satellites, swamp gas reflected off Venus - but there are two or three times in all those years when I've stopped and looked and had absolutely no idea what it was that was hovering - gliding - floating up above me. THe first one like that was when I was about 15 - red, luminous disc-ovoid, transparent travelling very fast east - west and instantly disappearing after about three seconds. I promptly pack up my 50mm and headed indoors!
Anyone got other stories???
Yours Sincerely,
