So obviously there are some weird things going on in my life now and back to 2001 when I saw my first UFO of the 21st century. I woke up and looked out my bedroom window because I heard some hooting and hollering from two people at the end of the shared driveway out by the road. A series of bright and distinct, multicoloured lights where flashing in the distance. It was hard to judge how far but closer than 3 or 2 miles I would say and probably closer. The lights looked like a cop car on steroids but with a random yet somehow rythmic sense of timing. Up in the air and no noise. I had popped the window open at the outset to see who the idiots were waking me up at the middle of the night.
As a child I was fascinated with aliens and still have a clay model of one that I made (will post picture) in elementary school. There was an odd time when we were camping in the Blue Ridge mountains when I woke up to a fighter jet immediately over head. Scared the heck out of us. Lost time? Military on scramble and shoo patrol? I don't know.
Fast forward to last Labor Day when I joined a good group of friends for an extended weekend of canoeing, fishing, drinking and telling stupid jokes around the fire. We are middle aged now so it wasn't a frat kegger blowout. We weere't blotto or at least I never got that way that weekend. I think it was Saturday the 30th of August when me and a buddy or two were still up after everyone else had retired so we decided to go to the lake shore and take in the magnificent star show that one is afforded in Eastern Maine hours away from any sizeable city.
