Several sightings of probably mundane objects were cited, along with a sighting of a possible arc from a power line to a tree near Syracuse.

“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“English literature is a flying fish.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“Culture relates to objects and is a phenomenon of the world; entertainment relates to people and is a phenomenon of life.”
