Ok this is certainly way off topic but I have to share this experience with you folks.

Flying last night at 39000 feet, it was a clear night and we were heading eastbound (heading 095) at the time. At approximately 12 o'clock ( straight ahead) high, in fact very high, I would guestimate way outside the atmosphere a light appeared and progressively got brighter. Way brighter and much larger while moving from right to left. The object became about 4-5 times brighter than it first started then suddenly disappeared.

Now I'll say that I've been flying 30 years and have seen many times meteors entering the earths atmosphere and burning up, I've seen 10's if not hundreds of satellites but this thing was completely different.

Meteors falling make a reddish/yellowish light which has somewhat of a tail but this was completely round and brilliant white. It's luminosity and size were increasing in intensity and size and then it suddenly disappeared.

Satellites have a tendency to also reflect sunlight and seem like bright objects however since it was night and we were heading eastbound (sun is rising ahead of us) it would be impossible for a satellite to reflect the sun towards our direction nor with such intensity as this object had.

The only way I could possibly justify this sighting is perhaps a very large meteor halling with an entry trajectory directly towards us so it's tail wasn't visible from our position but it certainly had a brightness and brilliant white glow like I've never seen before.

Even the way it disappeared is not common to a meteor falling. Those have a tendency to glow then gradually extinguish (fade) as they break up entering the atmosphere. This thing just switched off without any fading and it was certainly way bigger than anything I've ever seen in all my years of flying.

My co-pilot was equally baffled by what we both clearly saw

So the question beckons, did you report it?

Thanks! I haven't heard the theme song in a long time, so I just had to cue it up while catching up with the rest of this thread...



Absolute proof. Bigfoot exists! Or was that Chupacabra? Jersey Devil? Abominable Snowman? Alf? Mork exists!

You kidding??? Of course not, I don't need the hassle.

 

[Alexander Mundy]

Kinda what I figured, makes you wonder how many others see something but don't want to be branded.

Then again, perhaps God intended to give us silly humans a heck of a lot of Lebensraum...
(Wait, we'd better not get too deep into this here, lest we get cast into the Outside)

Ok hold on Ross till I Google "Lebensraum" (you and your use of the English language )

no need to look it up. I can help there.

It's a term referring to whether your lederhosen are giving you the pinch. More precisely, "wiggle room".

 

[pdib]

"Ach! Mein Gott! Give me lebensraum!!"

I have to admit, Ancient Aliens is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine, and he is by far the best, ummm, "alienoligist"?

I Googled Lebensraum and thank goodness that isn't what I found.


Now where is that brain bleach hiding......

All of the above

Don't know if you've seen this:

The Next Mind-Bending Chapter is Coming! | The X-Files on Fox

I loved the X-files, can't wait for its return

 

[Bimini Twist]

No, I hadn't seen that. Thanks!

 

[Train2]

Well, with XFiles coming back, I'd report it IF someone could guarantee that Gillian would, um, "investigate me".

You kidding??? Of course not, I don't need the hassle.

Oh, sorry. I had it. We might need to think about ordering more in the 50 gallon drum size.

 

[Doffy]

my brain doesn't need bleaching, it is anti stain or something, cos nothing sticks

 

[beckdg]

Nope last I checked no lost time and all my orifices (or is that orificie) are squeaky clean [emoji38]

I guess it's one of those things that make you go hmmmmmmm

I guess then the only question is how did they get so clean?

I've never known one to squeak.

There is one or two that can make a squeaking sound.
