@jmm1233- I grew up on 50's Sci-Fi films, and many had interesting theme music conveying an outer-worldly feeling. How about Ray Lynch?

I WATCHED ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING SITES OF MY LIFE THAT DAY. My john f kennedy hs{ in maryland) earth science teacher jack hendricks took us on a field trip to asssateague island to witness a full eclipse under a clear sky at noonish. that was 40 years ago and i still remember and tellthe story often.the sky darkened,stars appeared as if night was upon us,the horizon all around us lite up with a a dim twilight almost as if the sun had just set.waves grew in intensity on the beachfront as birds

@swwsfriday settled down to witness this cosmic event. Most amazing people wearing white lite up as if in a room full of black lights almost turning neon colors and beaming with radiant intensity from the glow while strange vibrating lines scattered and fragmnented on the beach sand like those that you see bouncing on the floor of a busy swimming pool on a full sunny day.My sensed were completely captivated at this age of 16

@swwsfriday wallops island toward to overhead sky.it scared the wits out of me for a moment for since i so caught off guard and my mind was so centered on the cosmological landscape that it had appeared the sky was cracking open at the point of each white smoke trail.Wow i will never forget it and thanks jack for always sharing your love of this science with us.

@swwsfriday - Thanks for sharing your experience. I will always remember that day as something special. I, too, lived in Silver Spring at the time. Actually, not very far from JFK High School.
