118. Well I suppose it depends on the person and the situation.
I was being driven by my mother near our house and I saw something that I thought was the moon when it is very low in the sky and orange and seems larger than usual, (Like happened this june).

And I said to my mother "Wow, look at the moon tonight... " then I looked to her in the driver's seat for her response and she started to say "wow!.." but in turning to see her response I saw the actual moon in its normal position, small and silvery as usual.

So we started speculating as to what it could be, getting closer all the time when it moved downwards in a straight vertical drop behind some trees and houses in our local park. By the smooth movement I said that it had to be a hot air balloon of some kind. We rounded a corner that I knew would bring the object into view again and I was absolutely confident that we would see men with ropes and activity of some kind- but nothing, just a large moon like orange sphere or disk sitting at the top of some mature trees.

We were quite close, about 20m away. We were astonished! I said to my mother "quick stop the car, we have to see what this is..." and she said "No way!!", and stamped her foot on the accelerator and we shot off down the road.

We didn't have a camera and we didn't discuss it with anyone. Don't ask me why, it was just a really strange thing that we could not explain.
