But actually in my life (I am 69) I have seen six: three 
with white trails in the daytime, two spectacular ones in 
my face at night, and one at night when I was looking the 
other way but I saw my shadow for a moment (it was quite 
bright and near). I guess I look at the sky more than other 
people may.
