Near miss 20 nm west of YHUG

I would just like to say a big hello to the pilot of the single engine Piper (I think that was the make - I only caught a very quick glimpse as it flashed past) that was headed west from YHUG around 0300-0330 UTC today at what appearred to be A094.

Did you give me a wave as you passed about 100' below my C210?

I don't know where you came from, where you were going, who you were or what you were doing travelling in the opposite direction to me at a very, very similar altitude.

Do you know how close you came to having your life cycle (and mine) ended today?

Dr

PS: For the record - no, I was not Prooning at the time - there were two sets of eyes looking out the front. Don't know how we missed spotting it earlier - but we did!

PPS: I told you VFR was dangerous.
