feels pressure change in her ears and cold in her body;
sees snow peaks, glaciers, ravines, cliffs and crags between sky above and clouds below;
hears silence apart from air booming around her vehicle and her Diomedean pilot radioing ahead;
thanks to her military training, recognizes a camouflaged energy cannon;
sees that a large steel door would be invisible to anyone flying overhead;
knows that instruments would detect the hideout but also that no one has any reason to search here.
Thus, sensory experiences but also trained observation and deduction. Is feeling pressure change a different sense from feeling cold?

Kaor, Paul!
I would call feeling changes in pressure to be related to feeling things with your hands, except it would be inside your head. A kind of tactile sensation.

Yup, it's something in your sinuses and ears, basically. And behind your eyeballs; at least that's how I experience it. I change altitude by several thousand feet routinely, since my home is at about 7200 feet.
Dear Mr. Stirling,
Exactly! I have felt such changes in pressure myself, going up Mt. Haleakala on the island of Maui, in Hawaii.
