The other moonless night I was talking with my dad outside; in our field of view were five different blinking lights of aircraft.

In any case, the slow, smooth movement of the planes in the sky was a graceful sight; similarly, the A-10's that buzz the university - though painfully loud - are beautiful in their long arcs.
