Okay, I'm going to tell you all something only a few trusted people know about me.
Then I'm going to tell you why.
It was late fall, early spring, 3 years ago. I was driving by the local State Park Lake, it was just after sundown.
Through the trees I saw a, hmm how can I put this, a ?darkness?. It was something, darker than the tree line, triangular and banking. It moved with a mesmerizing grace, captivatingly slow and dark, remove the light around it dark. I'm doing about 20mph, on the outside, and a couple thousand on the inside, when the damn thing starts coming over the trees and it's huge, and too fucking quiet, almost deafeningly silent. It crossed over the street, just over the trees, and from there, I do not know.
What was it? I have no clue. I know what it wasn't. I've skydived, been around hang gliders and I know this wasn't either.
Was it a UFO? Again, no idea. If I had to categorize it, it was a FOICI, or a Flying Object I Couldn't Identify.
Now for the why.
I just needed to get it out. More than that though I needed to write it to try and sort it. Put it in perspective, could it have been a really cool 200 - 250 foot wide kite or some other device of homo sapien creation?
Yes! But you know what? It really doesn't matter, because for about 15 maybe 20 seconds, I had a fucking blast and I could care less if it was a home made hot air thing that ran on batteries. It was fucking cool, the rush was incredible and the questions enlightening. I wouldn't trade that experience or any of the others that I survived or got caught up in, for anything.
God bless Science fiction, conspiracy theories and the unexplained, God bless theoretical physics.
