It is sobering (well, actually, perhaps not for all here) to read reports from other cultures what people of those cultures have seen and swear to. The middle age and at some places even later had its witches. They have been observed often by several people at the same time riding on brooms through the sky and doing other seemingly impossible activities. Well, some reports may be lies or wrong observations but you cannot explain all reports this way.

Not to forget, there was a big cover-up of these activities. But for people without prejudices the existence and the doings of witches was completely obvious.

Each culture has its own myths, and the myths of a culture influence what people see when they perceive something which is not familar.

Little Hawk, what you describe has 'light effect' written all over it.

Chief Chaos, when you did tell the story the first time, less than three months ago, the story was set in 1979 and the light were green, white, red.

Only minor details, I know, but that illustrates why I read personal reports with a grain of salt.
