Light is weird. But I usually stop delving into the weirdness of light with the wave/ particle thing. While that’s not strictly a light thing it’s easiest to play with in light, and it’s almost guaranteed to give you a headache if you start playing with it.

Does non constant light speed make you uncomfortable? Try to look beyond preconceived notions.

Light as well as angles can play some interesting visual tricks.

One early evening on my way home, I saw a silvery shimmering object in the sky that appeared to be hovering in a stationary position over the highway. To my eyes it looked saucer shaped and then it then suddenly changed direction and sped off very quickly.

What I actually saw was a jetliner coming in for a landing, at an altitude just high enough to catch the last rays of the setting sun and at an angle and in enough darkness that obscured its wings and with my relative speed and angle with the aircraft’s relative speed and angle, for a moment made it look like it was hovering saucer.

As I’d been commuting back and forth to work every day and passing by and right underneath a major flight path for BWI airport I knew what it was but if I’d been of a gullible nature or pre-disposed to believe in UFO’s, I would swear to you that what I saw was a flying saucer.

But perhaps I’m just a naysayer. ;),
