Flying from Galveston to Port Arthur last night (B407GX) and saw some very strange stationary lights hovering at about 1500 AGL, over the water about two miles west of Sabine Pass. TCAS didn't show anything, and no one was talking. My first thought was that someone was flying a drone near the old lighthouse, but at that moment the object shot out over the ocean at speeds that had to be greater that 200kts. Literally went from stationary to 200kts at the blink of an eye. Shortly after seeing the lights disapear, I began to hear an old CBS Radio News broadcast from February 1st, 1943 over the SBI VOR frequency (115.4).

As if this wasn't odd enough, and just as I was crossing over High Island, I heard someone on 123.025 identifying as 'Pumpkin Air', calling final into XS76, an old field that has been inoperative for years. (And am I wrong, didn't Pumpkin Air go out of business several decades ago??) So, I keyed up on 123.025 in attempts to reach the Pumpkin Aircraft, but my radio only returned static, and then completely shut down. I was finally able to regain power to the radio just south of Port Arthur, before heading into KBPT. 

I have never in my life experienced anything this eerie in flight, anyone else have similar experiences in this area? Kinda freaked me out. Anyone familar wiht this flight area able to offer an explanation?

Forum who posted regularly about Sabine Pass UFO sightings. Is that you?

Don't drink and fly!

Back in the day, as a day man, had pilots pre-flight, then puke (from drinking) and fly their there butts off. Loved it.

wan5 something eerie?  Volunteer for Ukraine.

really big potential attitude adjustment in store.  Let's hope wee Willy and the cackling fake can keep us clear of that mess.  No interest in prepping for real.

not going to happen but never say never.  Russia is a regional power but do have those missles, which have become the reality of modern tactical and strategic warfare.  Just like battleships, carriers are going the way of the DoDo really quickly.
