Why: glider is at some distance, so most cameras would register the shot as infinity, but object appears radically out of focus; also the reflected image clearly interferes with the demarcated edge of the gliders' wings, which means the image is closer to the camera than the glider; the time of sighting (200 PM PST) would indicate that the sun would be highly elevated, and ideal for giving anomylous reflections of such diverse things as the dashboard or canopy frame/surround. Why has this only surfaced now, after nearly 10 years? Can anybody verify John Kings' story: anybody from any of the other aircraft? Just some comments. Jakes E.
