Last evening I was sitting out waiting for a fireworks display, and I looked up in the sky and saw an airplane, but heard nothing. Later I was able to see several more airplanes in the sky, but again heard nothing, and I was able to see them, not the airplane itself, but the light from the flying lights. I seem to remember Lessans or Peacegirl stating that we always hear an airplane before we see it, because the brain must receive some sense stimulus, such as hearing, in order to look for the object, but in all these cases, I saw the airplane but heard nothing.
