This is how it works my friend…someone sees something atypical…. we have all seen planes in the night sky. We all know exactly what they look and sound like. But this particular vision we have is not usual, it may make unusual sounds or no sound, it may exhibit non-ballistic trajectory, it may have a shape which is not known or is unfamiliar to the observer.

All of a sudden, it’s just a plane, or a weather, balloon, or swamp gas, or someone threw a trashcan lid up in the air. I have lived this since the 1950s. I have heard this 1000 times.

I’m sorry if I appear to be cynical, I’m not being degrading or negative, but it reminds me so very much of what soon-to-be-Senator Arlen Specter told witnesses in Dealey Plaza that what they had seen, heard, and even smelled (exploded gunpowder) was not what they witnessed and they best better recant.
