What? Joe, what the heck are you talking about? You know better than that. You, of all people here know that the sun at a low angle on the horizon will EASILY reflect off the shiny fuselage of a large jet. I have seen it many, many times in this business - the same one you are in. Typically, while cruising at altitude while the sun is about to set, I'll see another jet momentarily flash a nice reflection of the sun back at me. I KNOW you've seen it yourself. It CAN be seen on the ground and is simply a reflection of the sun at a low angle. It's the exact same phenomenon that allows you and me to see the sun illuminate the underside of high clouds as the sun is just setting and for a while AFTER it has set.
