Hello,

    I suppose this may be a bit simplistic, but the above sounds exactly
like a plane, from the written description. I suggest this embarrassingly
obvious solution because I live in the San Francisco Bay Area between the
Oakland Int'l Airport and the S.F. Int'l Airport. My home is on in tall
hilly area overlooking virtually all of the immediate Bay Area. At any
given time of the day or night, there could be over a dozen planes flying
about. Apparently, my living room is in direct line of sight with a corridor
used for jet take off. Every few minutes there appears to be an extremely
bright white light hovering in the sky for what seems to be an uncomfortably
long time, i.e., 30-45 seconds. The light then generally makes a right turn
and flies off out of sight. Naturally, the jet appears to be hovering as it's
in direct line of sight, then makes a 'right angle' turn. The pilot will
turn off the lights as the jet ascends on to it's flight path creating the
illusion that the light/object has disappeared. I don't mean to insult John
and company's observation skills, but the written description seems like
what I see out of my living room window every 3-5 minutes. Is it possible
to enhance the video image? I'm just not sure how I (or we) can respond
in a constructive way to a description of a blurry point of light.

Thanks,
Michael Davis
