Default 2 pilots trade skill for luck, both win!

i was at an airport and an ultralight and a cessna were both on final for the same runway. the cessna was high and ultralight was low and both were looking to land on the same spot. neither saw the other of course. someone started to wave off..................he was trying to get the cessna to see him and abort. i stopped him immediately and asked what would he feel like if the ultralight saw him and pulled up into the cessna? or what if the cessna saw you and dove down because he thought someone was landing over the top of him? all the what ifs weren't going to work. no one had a radio!
well, they both landed and neither had any mishap with the other. the cessna was doing t&g's so he never knew what was up until he landed and had an ultralight pilot in his face!!!!
ugly scene. we separated them and thanked GOD nothing happened other than everyone hopefully learned something of value!
