I saw another UFO today. Of course, it happened when my arms were full of books and papers, and I couldn’t reach my camera. But I got something better than a picture (for now): a witness!
Let me qualify my “UFO” statement (again) - I saw something in the sky today that did not remind me of a plane. I’m not saying it was the vanguard of a Martian invasion fleet; i’m just saying it was odd-looking and in flight.
I was leaving my class at ACC-Riverside, looking up as I often do these days, when I saw another one of those shiny vessels. I watched it cross… no, no, coast across the sky at a leisurely pace, arcing and gently banking (I assume; the light reflecting from it would change intensities now and again). I must have been watching for a minute or two as the UFO cross the sky from east to southwest when I saw someone else watching, too. We caught each other’s eyes and indicated we were watching the same object in the sky. I walked over to this guy (judging by his outfit, either a student or a way laid back professor) and said, “You see it, too, right?”
“Yeah,” he replied.
“Thank God,” I said. “I’m getting tired of being the only one.”
“Maybe it’s part of that satellite that was coming down,” he ventured.
I hesitated. “I think they shot it down already. Plus, it would be plummeting to the Earth, not drifting like that.”
We watching for another minute when the object became too small to see any more.
“Weird,” we agreed as we parted company.
At least I feel less like I’m making stuff up. This guy was just as fascinated by how odd this thing was as I was, so at least for the two of us, seeing it was seeing something new. Like I said before, East Austin is the place to be for strange sights in the sky.

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Jacob Landes for Instinct about his book The Tale of the Crippled God, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It’s a primitive myth with a language that reminds me of Rachel Pollack’s work. Jacob has let me know that he posted a video on YouTube to promote his book. I’m re-posting it here because I think the book is an amazing read and you should buy it immediately.
