Another Odd Occurence.

I was in my garden the other day when I heard a turbo prop aircraft approaching. The engine noise grew louder and louder until it sounded low and directly overhead, and then died away again.

Problem: I have a good view in all directions from my garden, and there wasn’t a plane in sight. Neither was there a cloud to hide one. Wall-to-wall blue sky. So where the hell was it?

I don’t make these things up, you know.

I once experienced a "phantom car." I was with my ex when we first started dating and he took me to the top of this small mountain... there was just one one-way road that went up the mountain and back down. There was a spot at the top to pull over and look at the view. We were sitting in the car talking and everytime a car came by we saw the lights ahead of time and then heard the car and it passed right by us before descending. Again, only one way for the cars to go... no turn offs except for where we were. At one point we heard a car but never saw headlights and thought it was odd because it was at night. We both stopped talking and watched and followed the sound... it came right by us and went on down the mountain. No car in sight. The road was only about 20 feet behind where we were parked. It is impossible for any car do drive by without anyone parked at the top seeing them. Sorry if this is jumbled and full of run-on sentences. I took some pain meds and they make me loopy.

Loopy is good, Andrea. I like loopy. Pain isn't, but life is full of it. Hope you're OK.

I gather they often hear turbo planes near old wartime airfields in Britain, but the only one near here was a training base.
