@simonbp@social.linux.pizza Ahh, poor bloke! Easy done! I had a call from a neighbour who was on duty as a police officer, lots of calls coming in about a flickering, multicoloured light, darting around close to the horizon. Local airport couldn't see it on radar. It was Sirius, doing its sparkly thing.
I've included "UFO consultant to Scottish Police" on every CV I thought would get away with it since. Got at least 2 unrelated jobs.

@_thegeoff@mastodon.social @simonbp@social.linux.pizza My father, as an airborne air controller in Korea, was directing a fighter aircraft returning at night who reported a pursuing aircraft that he could not shake. Sent two fighters out to deal with it. Confusion when they arrived. But they quickly identified the light as Venus. 🙄
