Driving in the dark near Coventry airport the other night, I saw a plane on approach, landing lights blazing. Eventually it passed overhead but very low - low enough to hear the roar of the engines and for the landing lights to illuminate the road. Nothing exceptional in that, except I wonder hopw many similar incidents have grown in the retelling to UFO sightings?
After all - I didn't actually see the plane, only the lights - and there was something slightly odd about the engine noise - and it did make a very sharp turn to pass over me - could a plane have done that? - and did it really pass over or did it hover? - and it did seem to disappear very quickly...
