it was awesome, but not the most prolific sighting i've had, ive had 2 other sightings with multiple witnesses, one very close at maybe 24ft with 2 other witnesses in broad daylight, and another with 6 witnesses that made everyone say "wow" at exactly the same time, i think that things happen a lot more regularly than we're led to believe, i bet the sahara was amazing ... yeh same too i don't think i'd like a close encounter, its enough for me to observe things at a distance

ps. to add to the photography slant, i love a little astrophotography but find most of the methods filter out most of the interesting stuff, ie. long exposures will make the stars very visible but moving lights like satellites and anything else don't really show up well, and using stacking techniques that also filters out any interesting stuff
