Today I would like to describe some recent "sightings" of truly unknown objects to the list. I am interested in whether others have seen such, and if anyone has any idea as to what they may be. Swamp gas theories and pelican explanations (which include geese) are not acceptable, please... thank you. In the evening hours, before full dark, I've seen what look like extremely bright objects, points of light, pure white (no visible color) and about magnitude zero to negative one. The objects shoot across 20 to 30 degrees of sky, appear to be far away, and (sometimes) zig zag during the time they are visible. They leave no discernable trail, make no sound, just appear and disappear. And they move extremely rapidly. The time they take to traverse 20 degrees is less than a second. On one or two occasions these "objects" appeared to be close but I had no way of making this determination, near or far, there was no perspective, nothing to use as a reference of distance, just my gut feeling. They always appear in an area of clear sky, not near trees or buildings or any other structures. Also, for those of you who are of the insectoid, aviary or gaseous religions, the fire fly season was over more than a month ago. I am quite serious about this and my previous post on being able to "hear" meteors. This is not a Grippled Gesundt writing. Jim Mortellaro
