Thanks, very interesting article. It reminded me of my only experience with a UAP that I’ll try to describe:
I was on the Big Island (Hawaii) and a buddy and I were laying on the roof of a structure staring into the sky, admiring the blanket of stars that attracts astronomers from around the planet (Mauna Kea has some of the most advanced telescopes and sensors in the world). We were at 6400’ above sea level on the plateau between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. We saw some shooting stars, planes and things that looked like satellites passing by overhead. Then one of the small moving lights which I was following suddenly got intensely bright, for perhaps 10-12 seconds, then dimmed and continued on its way.
It was bizarre because we both noticed it and we couldn’t figure out what it might be. Certainly not a comet (too slow), shooting star (too slow) or plane (too high up). Before it got bright it just looked like a little star moving across the sky and I assumed it was a satellite. I’ve never seen a satellite get bright like that before.
I don’t know if extraterrestrial life has visited this planet, but I have and always will believe that there is life elsewhere in the universe. I think the chances are much smaller that there isn’t other life, given the size of the system. I’ll never know what that bright light was but it certainly made for good conversation.
