Brandon was not the only one who saw it. He was just the only one whose belief could not be shaken by the men in suits who talked to everyone who had been on the flight.
They tried to convince him he didn’t see it, or that it was some small plane with the sun glinting off the windshield, or a flock of geese.
He knew it wasn’t any of that. Still, he did as the men told him. He did not talk to anyone about it. He tried not to think about it anymore.
Strange as it may seem, he had really forgotten about the whole thing by the time he’d grown up. Then he saw it again. This time it was not alone.
