One extremely import point to remember, when VFR at night, is that when lights ahead disappear if you keep going you WILL run into something. It may be a cloud or a mountain, it may be 30 miles ahead or less than 100 yards. It has turned out to be a mountain for some, including airliners. Pilots flying IFR see this frequently and when it happens most check altitude and verify position to make sure it isn't terrain. Not likely that you saw someone turn off their porch light. When the light disappears an immediate 180 could be a life saver. John
