I've seen something... I reckon it could be called a ufo. It was unidentified. It was a flying object. So, early one morning I'm getting ready to go dove hunting. It's still dark outside, the sun hadn't risen yet. When I step outside to start loading up the truck I immediately notice the moon. It looked huge. And extremely bright. It seemed to be in an odd position too. So I start scanning the skies around it. Oh wait a minute, there's the moon over there. So what the hell is this other bright object I'm looking at? Beats me, but I've gotta get a move on. So I get in my truck and hit the road. I go to town and pick up a buddy of mine and grab some breakfast and then we're off to go hunting. At this point I've forgot all about the bright object I spotted earlier. The sun is up and birds are flying. We're well on our way to hitting our daily bag limits. It had probably been at least 2 hours since I had left my house when my buddy says hey what is that up there in the sky? Great question, I say. I saw it first thing this morning and I haven't a clue what it is. Maybe a weather balloon? That made no sense though. Do weather balloons glow bright in the night sky? I don't think so. Another important note is it was pretty windy that morning. Whatever this glowing orb was hadn't moved positions since I had spotted it earlier. So it's just stationary in the wind for at least 2+ hours. Possibly much longer, that's just how long I knew it was there. As we're debating what it might be, a group of birds come flying over so we start shooting and then go to retrieve what we hit. Once we get back to our chairs, we look for the orb again. WTF in the middle of our shooting the large orb had split into two smaller orbs. They were doing crazy maneuvers in the sky. Crossing paths, doing figure 8s, zig zagging, etc. We're both pretty much mind blown by now. After a few minutes of that, both 2 orbs start moving away and they were gone just like that.
I still don't know what it was that we saw but this is a true story and we were both 100% sober. I knew we couldn't have been the only ones to have seen this so I started searching the internet for days afterwards. I saw an article on ufoworldnews.com or something like that about what we saw. And I found a YouTube video someone posted on that day in my hometown, the end part of my story where the orb split to 2. If any of y'all are interested in watching it, I'll try to find it and post a link to it.
Ever since that day, I constantly watch the skies hoping to see something like that again. Especially at night.
I have no Idea what you encountered that night.
But you have some writing skills my friend.
No matter what you saw in the sky.
You can tell the story.
When I was about twelve years old we had just gotten home from the Puyallup Fair.
Dad was at the door unlocking it and Mom was behind him holding my baby brother and my sister was right in front of me.
I looked up in the sky and a green and black rotating big round ball with these kindoff shifting and pulstating wiggling black lines as big as our house popped out of a cloud front and didnt really make a noise.
It wasnt a noise.
it just was a thing that I cant describe
I cant explain that to you.
It just was.
Twenty years later Im at my house in Arizona and have all of my friends from Seattle down for a big blowout party and Im out next to the pool and grilling and a big storm front is moving in and out of that solid wall cloud a big damn green rotating ball with black rotating and shifting strings popped out of that cloud front and travelled all the way down that cloud front from east to west and rotated and made that same wishing swirling kindoff soft air drag drag noise.
It wasnt the same type of ball that I had seen when I was a kid.
It was the exactly the very same ball I had seen when I was a kid.
So a few years later I had a really bad painfull ear infection.
head swollen **** filled ******* mess.
My ex ex 2 times removed looked into my ear and when she touched it out popped a green round black stringy mass the size of a pea out of my left ear that looked just exactly like the UFOs I had seen for all of those years .
It blew up like a bomb and Ive never felt so bad for somebody having to deal with such grossness.
It blew into her face and splatted and bounced off.
It was a solid mass.
She picked it up off of the floor.
It was a form of cancer that made me see my cancerous mass in the sky.
From my inner ear.
I had no friggen idea at all that that could even happen or be possible in any way.
But it can.
I have a hole in my ear and I bled for about a year after that and I cant hear **** from my left ear.
And I am lucky as hell.
Most people who get an ear tumor it has already spread.
My ex saw a blackhead zit in my ear and decided to pick at it because we were going to her friends wedding.
That infection of her digging around with her claws caused a skin infection that made the tumor erupt out of the skin instead of taking root further into my head.
Doubt everything you see and doubt everything anyone tells you.
And never decide that aliens or ghosts or whatever exists without some type of informed knowledge.
You write quite well.
You have a very kind of almost Ernest Hemingway type of story sentence structure in your writing.
Im a story telling fool but you need to put pen in hand my friend.
You have a talent and a style and that is such a rare thing.
Your calling might not be something that has even occured to you yet , but it is clear as rainwater to me.
I really hope you do follow that path.

Thanks. You'd be correct in that it hasn't occurred to me. I've never cared too much for writing to be honest. But when it involves something that sparks my interests, well that can change my mind I suppose.
You're a good storyteller yourself. It's not often an infection like that can turn out to be a blessing!

Writing is an exercise for your brain just like doing puzzles or doing crosswords is an exercise for your brain
Every famous author in history was full of self doubt and angst.
Marc Twain when he was old thought that all of his writings were a waste of time.
Writing or just telling storys from your life can often be a brave and stupid thing to do.
But nobody can tell that story like you can.
Everybody who reads that story will see it in a different way.
Some of them will be sad, some of them will be offended and angry.
and some of them will love that you are telling your story.
You have a talent my friend.
You have every ability you need to go forth and tell your own story.
you need to chase that talent.
You are already have damn good writing and sentence structure.
You have a story to tell and you can tell it.
You are already better than you think you are.
Go to community college at night and take some 101 courses
Just basic structure courses.
And go forth and write everything you ever thought about writing.
The only thing stopping you is fear that you are not good enough to do it.
Fear that your friends will mock you.
Fear that you will be cast out if you even try.
Fear that your friends will not understand or back you up if you try.
And that may end up being true.
That might happen
But if you dont follow that talent you have?
You sure as hell will ******* regret it when you are old and you are hanging out at the bar drinking beer with the very same ***** that shot you down when you tried.
Get a pen and a blank journal and start writing every every every ******* day
It does not matter what you write.
It just matters that you write every day.
Every ******* day you write something.

A few years after highschool, so about 1996ish, buddy and I were heading up to the lake that's about half an hour north of our hometown, a bunch of friends were at a campsite partying it up, as one does at that age.
It was late summer and after midnight so it was dark. We were in his square body Chevy and bombing down the gravel road, hay fields on both sides that haven't been harvested yet, and we're probably 3'-4' high.

All of a sudden on the driver's side about a hundred feet ahead, and hundred off the road a bright white light appeared, popped up about 10' above the field for a second or two a d them shot off at about a 45⁰ angle up and away to the north west at tremendous speed, shining bright the whole time. We saw it for maybe 5 seconds before it was out of sight.

He slammed the brakes, and almost ditched the truck, and we just looked at each other for a minute and then freaked out.
It was maybe 10' diameter and 5' tall we estimated.

We talked for a bit, had a smoke, and he grabbed a beer from his cooler in the box. We figured no one would believe us if we said anything, but we knew what we saw a decided to keep it too ourselves.

Got to the campsite about 15min later and start drinking and hanging out. Maybe five minutes later another bud showed up and he's freaking the F out!!! Sweating like a pig and shaking like crazy.
"Oh my god, you will never believe what the "F" I just saw" and he goes on to describe the exact same thing we did. He was coming on a different road from the west. And everyone starts in on him calling it bullshit etc. But we chimed in and said he's not lying, we saw the exact same thing, and it flew off from right in front of us. So now WE are getting "the gears" from about a dozen guys.

No one believes us,so the three of us go off to talk and try and make sense of what we saw.

For years after some ******* would inevitably bring it up at a party, but we knew what we saw. I haven't talked to the fella I was driving with for about 20 years and the other one died a few years ago. But we know something flew away, we don't know what or who.....but something happened that night.

I am not nieve enough to believe we are the only ones in this big ass space.


I have another great story I'll post sometime tomorrow, bed time.

I just learned about his the other day... The US Navy filed a patent in 2016 for a 'Mass Reduction Device' AKA Anti-Gravity device...

I'm not sure that I believe UFOs are visiting us, but I won't discount anyone else's experience. Read up on the Fermi paradox. There are billions of stars in our galaxy, and billions of galaxies in the universe. There is certainly other life out there. However, it is exceedingly rare, and finding life in this universe has worse odds than finding a needle in a haystack. Further, if other life does exist and has visited, we should be concerned. Look at how we treated the native Americans and pacific islanders.

There's also the possibility of self-destruction. Intelligence does not guarantee wisdom, and it's entirely possible that a planet of intelligent beings can destroy or at least stone-age themselves out of paranoia or self-indulgence. We came very close to nuclear war too many times and got very lucky. We're not out of the woods on that one yet. The Easter Island natives cut down all their trees to appease their gods, wrecked their ecosystem, and disappeared. Whether you believe climate change is man-made or not, we need to be concerned about our survivability. I'm pretty sure that if we make it to the point where we can begin exploring the cosmos we'll discover some self-induced extinctions.

The other thing to consider is the age of the universe, the age of our galaxy, and our position in our galaxy. We're on the outskirts of the Milky Way, which means we're further out of the gravity well of our galaxy. Time passes slower here, meaning we have more time to develop as a life-supporting planet. Our threats will come from further out in the galaxy, where time passes even slower. Intelligent beings from the outer reaches will have had more time to create higher technology, which may make finding that needle in the haystack easier. Closer to the center of the gravity well intelligent beings are more likely to have neighbors, but time passes faster so they may not develop the ability to travel the galaxy before the universe ends.

If you've watched Three Body Problem or Interstellar, you've had a primer on the vast distances needed to travel and the varying rates at which a planet can advance affecting its preparedness for alien invaders. Unfortunately, Star Wars, Star Trek, and any other number of science fictions have ill-prepared us for the reality of interstellar travel. In those series time passes at a standard rate throughout the galaxy and travel is near instantaneous. The reality is that if you travel to the outskirts of the galaxy and then travel back, everyone you know could have died of old age before you returned, and all your technology will be outdated unless you got upgrades from whomever you visited at the outskirts of the galaxy. Or you could be importing advanced outer-galaxy technology to the inner-galaxy. Inner galaxy people will be like gods, living through centuries of advancements in the outer galaxies, but with time passing too fast for them to keep up. Outer galaxy people will be making all the advancements but seeing much slower changes.

Anyways, just a lot of things to think about.
