UFO
A few years ago, I was driving north through the empty desert night, on Highway 95 near Beatty, Nevada. Great Basin nights are achingly empty, and apart from a few turnoffs to darkened trailers advertising (entirely legal and entirely scandalous) 'massages', the road was desolate.

I was all alone in the night, half-listening to George Noory on his Coast-to-Coast-AM radio show. As America's premiere late-night DJ, Noory is the worthy successor of uber-UFO-aficionado Art Bell. I like Noory, because he seems to be almost infinitely-gullible, willing to broadcast any ridiculous theory, and he is never, ever unpleasant or rude.

As Noory cut to a commercial, he promised his listeners a "UFO Extravaganza" after the break.

Suddenly to my left, I saw a light in the sky, heading south. The light looked like a very bright planet - like Venus - but in motion. I did a double-take, thinking it might have been a reflection, but that was not the case. Something was flying south through the air, not very high, and not very far away.

A UFO Extravaganza! That's right! This is where UFOs gather, after all! The Nevada Nuclear Test Site was located just over those hills and highly-secret Area 51 wasn't far away!

It is quite plausible that the light belonged to a small private airplane. There is a small airport located just south of Beatty, equipped with flashing beacons for nighttime travelers, and the airborne light was heading in that direction.

But still, private planes are supposed to be equipped with colored blinking lights for nighttime flight. This light was not blinking.

Ooooowwwwweeeeeeoooooo!

Me too.
I too have experienced a UFO siting. It was over the Mendip hills just outside of Bristol. Spooky, like nothing else I have ever seen.
