How could I?

I saw "one" one night. It's an intense experience. Being me, I stood out there for 15-30 minutes trying to make sense of what I had seen. Then an identical object flew over. This time, I heard one of the geese honk. I then resolved the others in the flock that was lit from underneath by city lights. Turns out, that our brains don't always process visual things under low-light conditions.

But even after I knew what it was, I was still a bit wigged out. I get it.
