So here's MY story. The year would be about 1950. I had been visiting my fiancee in Northumberland, and was travelling by bus. The route took us for some distance along the shore of Solway, South Scotland. It happened when the vehicle was stationary, at an official stop. A clear bright day, and I was seated by a window, left side. A bright point of light took my eye, high in the sky to the lefT. It was n't anything that I could have put a label on--just a small [seemingly] brilliant object. Then an amazing thing took place; from a standing start---no apparent acceleration---it went into lightning motion, and, literally like a lightning flash, was out over the solway firth and over the horizon in what seemed like a second or less. My immediate reaction was disbelief; it just wasn't possible. I looked around at the other passengers. No one else seemed to be reactiong to any such phnomenon. I slid down in my seat, thinking--better keep my trap shut! But the lady in the seat behind tapped my shoulder. "Did you see something just then?" When I answered, she proceeded to describe the incident exactly as I had seen it. I had been telling myself that I'd seen a reflection in the window glass---but that theory "went out the window" [p. the Pun--]as I realised that no two people in different parts of the vehicle could possibly see the same reflection. Made me think--and it still does!
