I live on an airpark in the desert. There is a lightly used highway coming into town from El Paso, 60 miles east. It is straight as a string across the desert floor for 15 miles. Quite often I fly at dusk. I will get down on the deck, a couple feet above that hiway when I see a car off in the distance coming into town. I'll turn on the landing lights which look a lot like a car's headlights from several miles away. As I get closer, the car will bright me at which time I pull back on the yoke and make a climbing turn to the north and then go dark. I keep hoping to see a newspaper article about UFO sighting along the hiway but so far nothing.
For some strange reason, I have no trouble believing you'd do that, Dick... :-)
