That was so familiar-sounding... I was actually looking for the C-57D coming out of hyperspace. :)
Thank you.
... To the crew of the Aurora ... t'link, t'link!

It surely didn't sound like Klaatu's ship. (-:

Ah, a close second! I didn't think of it at the time.

Most people don't believe it exists.
Certainly it is a work of fiction, however it did exist in the Stargate Atlantis universe. (You were aware of this?) That episode was one of a couple whose story lines seemed to have a particular respect for the characters that were created for the purpose of the story. Hence the tagline (it is how the episode ended).

It existed on a blackboard. They made a complete blueprint of it and
its capabilities were Mach 6, according to what I read 20+ years ago. It is my belief that it was built.

Yep. *That* one exists. I have seen one. Or, I want to say it
this way: that (object) which I observed could _not_ have existed.
Yet, I saw it. Perfect 'viewing' (astronomical term) weather. Unobstructed view, with no distractions or reflections from
structures. I have seen one.

Mmm... not sure about that though I do have a nephew so affected.
I have been accused of having OCD and accept that, but my behaviour
is mostly a reaction to what I classify as personal safety/survival
habits I developed since military service. That is, habitual tasks performed that civilians just don't get.
Oh, and I do know that screaming certainly works. It used to keep
me entertained and 'level' while riding my motorcycle in traffic.

Never watched that show. The Stargate movie was enough for me.
I have seen one.
It is overcast here most of the time, so I don't get to see anything
worthwhile except from pictures on the 'net. I'd like for this rain
to go northwest where it will do some good, as in putting out forest fires. Even on a clear day here, a ship travelling at Mach 6 would
only produce a glimpse for anyone happening to look in the right direction. It would be like a radar blip.

It's basically the same here, being in the sub-tropics and close to
the east coast. A lot of our weather is generated either off of
the Pacific ocean or the hot/dry bush to our west. So, roughly 50%
of the time it's either hot & wet or hot & dusty/smokey.
OTOH there are times in late autumn or early spring where the
weather is postcard perfect. Cool & dry and the viewing goes to
infinity, seemingly. It was just such an occasion when I saw what
could only have been an Aurora-type craft, though I did think for a
while I had seen an atmosphere-skipping satellite/space debris
during a re-entry (I did read of an instance of such at about that
time, a month or so later).
I should fess up & say that I didn't see the actual craft. It was
much too high, and very fast moving ('gone in 30 seconds'). What I
saw was the characteristic 'wake' of an Aurora. They don't make
typical contrails. (This is something I've since seen on a doco
flick of some sort.) It confirmed what I observed; as if the sky
and sea were inverted, and the craft was making a speedy wake
through the water.
I should fess up & say that I didn't see the actual craft.
Then it wasn't donut contrails? It might have been an SR-71.

There you go! I like that idea. It's certainly better than
claiming the impossible.
But. Tell me this: what are your donuts made from?

I'll post it in the cooking echo.

Nah. I don't read there, mate.
Greatcoats off: I was having a Bjoern moment, and doing a
spellcheck.
Profuse apologies.
I need a smack...
