"I looked out the window and saw this white light.It was zigzagging around. I went up to the pilot and said,Have you ever seen anything like that? He was shocked and he said, "Nope." And I said to him: "Let's follow it!" We followed it for several minutes. It was a bright white light.We followed it to Bakersfield, and all of a sudden to our utter amazement it went straight up into the heavens. When I got off the plane I told Nancy all about it."
Whatever it was, it was obviously remarkable to him. If he kept quiet, then we wouldn't know about it. I am glad he spoke of it.
I was expecting someone to debunk the statements by the NASA guys. Maybe they saw "debris", "moon pigeon" or maybe UFOs are secret code for "debris", you know, the usual.
Well I suppose you have a fair point, my sightings were unremarkable by my own standards, yet I came in here and shouted them from the rooftops.
It is hard for me to consider applying such in a work place, or even such a public audience as Reagan had. I thought he did a really dumb thing, and made the US look credulous and a bit foolish. I did not race into work on Monday morning and talk about my sighting, or start musing how it would change the world. It was a fascinating experience sure, but I canot imagine something like this affecting a person enough to speak in a UN meeting. It just strikes me as out of place, and I can never understand why some people see it in such a different light. It has even been described as "brilliant" by some, but I fail to see how he looked like anything but a class numpty on a world stage.
Whatever Reagan saw, it did not go into space, that much I do know. Naga Fireballs are a natural phenomena that does just this. The shoot up without warning from the Mekong and straight up into the sky.
