If I had seen what we saw at this height, I would tend to dismiss it along your line of thought. But mine was at most, I repeat at most 200 feet off the ground, and in no way a glitch of the eye or mind.But they do. Occam's razor wins out here. What each of us saw cannot be assumed to be alien, from the future, from different dimensions, or any other WAG. What was seen can be described, however, not only can we be fooled by tricks of the eye, but humans tend to see patterns (i.e. make assumptions) where there are none. This goes for UFOs as well. What I saw was unknown, however, I personally believe it was either manmade or a natural phenomena/object.
I'm hoping that what I saw on that tape IS man-made, because that would mean that we have an operational space craft other than the aging Sapce Shuttle.
