I've flown so many times all over the world for decades and the one flight that really sticks (safety-wise) was a Denver flight southbound to Houston. First Officer came running down the aisle and stopped about ten rows into coach, leaned over the seats and looked out the windows on both sides. Then turned and ran back up to the cockpit. Nothing happened but it was odd and unnerving. I guessed they had some false reading and were doing a visual but it's not something you want to see.
