Did you ever see a Blackbird out of Mildenhall -quite an impressive
sight? There are still some very distinctive and unfamiliar jet-type
noises at night occasionally. It would be nice to think these were an
Aurora-type flight, but sadly probably not and very possibly myth
anyway. (Maybe less so at Macrahanish?) Impossible to rule out though
and reputedly accompanied by a light show.
