[QUOTE="Treversal, post: 180713, member: 11111"] I thought this could be cool. People could share unusual stories that they were told related to science and technology. I'll start with this one, I probably posted it somewhere else long ago but I don't recall where... Years ago (30?) I had to work on Thanksgiving just watching the big computer room for a joint venture between IBM, CBS and SEARS, this was in the same building as the Tax Office on Rt. 208. There was a cemetery right behind the parking lot which made leaving after dark interesting. And I think the computers were their idea of what the future WWW/Internet would become. Anyway I was relieving an old gentleman and he told me to go home and he would stay because he would just be alone anyway and I had family to go be with. I asked if he was sure and he say no problem, go. I hung around for a long time (after all I was getting paid for the whole shift he was staying for free) to chat. He started telling me about his time in WWII in Germany and he said one day when he stationed was at an airport an officer told him and a couple of other soldiers to guard a nearby hanger and not to let anyone enter. They stood watch, and he got curious and said he was going to peek through a window and the other soldiers wouldn't go with him. He said when he peeked inside he saw a lot of brass and what looked like a UFO hovering above the floor flying around the hanger. He didn't watch for long and he went back to stand guard with the other soldiers. I don't recall if he mentioned anything about sound, but we chatted a very long time and he sure seemed convincing enough about what he said he saw. And I got to go home for Thanksgiving.
