This was posted on the Vortex, I thought you guys might like it also.


"I went home to take my daughter to lunch as her school is closed today. We
were about 2 minutes from our house, in the suburbs of the nation's capitol,
and approaching a stop sign. Waiting at the sign was a biker on his Harley;
he was looking up into the sky. Knowing that all planes are still grounded,
my first thought was that a military aircraft was overhead. I opened the
sunroof of my Jetta and looked up, as did my daughter. We didn't see
anything.
I brought the car to a stop a little behind him and to the side as he was
making a left and I was making a right. He looked at us and pointed into the
sky to indicate that whatever he had been looking at was still there. My
daughter didn't know exactly what it was at first. I knew.

Floating and circling against the pure blue sky it was alone. Silent in the
sky void of the usual jumbo jets that had roared into and out of Dulles
airport yesterday and every day before, it seemed almost surreal. The 3/4
moon hung hazily behind it in the afternoon blue. It looked majestic, proud,
confident. We stood on our seats to watch it and I looked back to the biker.
He had been looking up the whole time as well. He looked back at me, offered
the Peace sign then gunned his throttle and roared away. We stayed to watch
for another couple of minutes in silence and then I told my daughter what it
was and what I thought it meant.

We saw a Bald Eagle today. "
