Something that seriously freaked me out a few months ago:
I'm very skeptical when it comes to people talking about UFO sightings... its all bull-blam!- to me. Any "advanced" race wouldn't be stupid enough to meddle in the affairs of a "lesser" race... But I almost came to changing my beliefs... almost.
Driving home (well.. I wasn't driving, since I can't drive... but I was in the passenger seat), I was staring at the stars (as I usually do), and I saw these soft, orange lights in the sky. At first I didn't give them much attention... but then further down the road I began to notice and feel that something was wrong with those three orange dots. When I got back to the house, I noticed that they were lower... and seemingly closer. I began thinking to myself, "What the -blam!-?!?!?!?!?!" And these orange dots resembled many UFO sightings that have been "documented" in the past; 3 lights in a triangular pattern (like what was portrayed in the miniseries, Taken.... although those were blue). Unable to stand looking at them and feeling the uneven energies of excitement, anxiety, and fear coursing through my body, I went inside, and exclaimed to my dad, "Dad, they're something seriously wrong with the sky tonight... Three orange lights... just hovering there... not cool!" ... And he says, "oh... they're just military flares. They scared the -blam!- out of me the first time I saw them, too... they must be testing them at Fort Drum."
So there you have it... Anyone who thinks that 3 dots in a triangular pattern in the sky is a UFO is wrong. Military flares, people. That's it....
I found it ironic how one of the things I am most interested in (the concept of extraterrestrial life) could invoke such fear and anxiety within me.
