Here's a new subject, and after this I'm sure you will say I was drinking or smoking wacky weed.

Since I have had premonitions in my life that always seem to come true, and all of the bizarre coincidences concerning the lady now in Lehigh Acres, Florida that I taught to fly 20 years ago when we were in Decatur, Illinois (was pressured to become Catholic to marry her, and I didn't), and hoping to get my job back soon, I was in the back yard about August 12th, and looking up at the sky. I noticed a very bright star almost directly overhead, about as bright as Vega, and thinking of certain Bible prophecies (like that Sara would have a child at 80 some years old, and Abraham laughed at God, then it came true), I thought, "God likes to make predictions about something that humans say is impossible to happen, then it happens (like her and I being back together again, which everyone says isn't going to happen). About 20 seconds later the star FADED out and DISAPPEARED!! There wasn't a cloud in the sky and the Milky Way was clearly visible nearby. I went out again for three or four nights in a row, and it was still gone. I later looked at a star chart and it doesn't show it!
Speaking of Decatur, in about 1995 I was in the control tower at Felts Field, Spokane, Wa. and there was not much traffic and I was bored, so I daydreamed a bit and thought, "I wonder where my future wife is right now". Not even thinking about Sharon, thinking I haven't met my future wife yet, and about two minutes later I glanced over at the wind instruments, and noticed on the face of one, "Wind Speed Indicator". I couldn't believe it. The word "Indicator". At that time she was still in Decatur. Not spelled the same, but pronounced "InDecatur". I had been a pilot for over 20 years and lived in Decatur for 3.5 years and it never dawned on me that Decatur was in that word. If I would have known it when I was teaching her to fly I would have said, "what's this?" (pointing to the airspeed indicator) and she would have responded "the airspeed indicator", and I would have said, "get it, In Decatur!", but it never dawned on me until two minutes after I wondered where my future wife is right now.
Then on about this last Sept. 9th, I was in the back yard again, using the telescope and talking to my mother about how the tilt of the earth causes seasons, and I noticed under the North Star, about 10 degrees above the treeline, a bright reddish light, as bright as a landing light, but totally stationary. It couldn't have been Mars, which was dimmer in the eastern sky. I said to my mom, "what the hell is that?". She turned and saw it too, then if slowly faded out and disappeared. I had binoculars in my hand, so I brought them up, and all I could see was a normal star field. But I had my eye on one star that was in the exact position the bright light had been, but the same brightness as the surrounding stars. About 30 seconds later it started moving RAPIDLY down toward the horizon and disappeared behind the trees. So it went from what appeared to be only a few miles away, to a few thousand miles away in a matter of 5 or 6 seconds. Nothing from this earth that I know of could do that. I think the Bible says that right before the second coming of Christ we will see amazing things in the skies. Any astronomy buffs have any explanations?
