All due respect Denise Murter and the folks in Bucks Co.(which isn’t too far from where I live) but I think this is silly. I mean, if these things do exsist, why don’t they land on the White House lawn in broad daylight? Why is they seem to appear to just average folks? And why travel all that way? A single ‘’light year’’, the distance light travels in one year in a vacuum, is six trillion miles. The nearest star to us, besides our own Sun, at a scant 93 million miles is some 9 light years away. Do the math, thats 54 trillion millions one way. I don’t know about anyone else but I’d just send a fax.

Sorry, typo. Meant to say “54 trillion miles one way’’.

Longtom about a year ago I was driving on 1-95 and got off at the bypass for Newtown etc.On that road towards the city of Philly in the sky was a plane or something that did not fly in a strait line.It was just at sunset and I just put it in the back on my mind.I don’t like this stuff happening so close and I really don’t know what people are seeing.I just know a few doors down stuff came through the roof of the house.If I look out the back door I can see the house.Hope things settle down.

You may be thinking of the round trip. The nearest star other than Sol is Proxima Centari at 4.2421 Light years or closer to 25,000,000,000,000 (25 trillion) miles one way.
