Hey Astro nut, Ive never seen air craft exhaust glow, so I could not compare. What I saw has a shimmer just like a normal star. They didn't change size, they stayed the same size as the both moved down at the same speed, before the left one shot up.
Jaybee, I agree it does seem possible that there are intelligent beings in the universe somewhere.. Seems to me way to foolish to believe we are it.
The media (news globally) have had a number of strange stories in recent years which can not be explained. More people are looking and often with cameras in phones people are getting pics or videos of strange events.
Oicurmt, I don't know that people love the romance of ET. Most movies show aliens or ufos on a he'll bent mission to destroy mankind.
Most of the astromers and scientists (these days) are of the frame of mind that there is intelligent life in the universe..I am open minded.. But also am open to earthly answers.. To my strange observation.
