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.

It happened again.

This morning around 9:00 I started walking Hogan around the block, and when I looked at the sky, I saw an old chemtrail (the one originating on the lower right-hand side of the picture) and a new one being formed (the crossing one). The plane was somewhat visible at the head of the trail, but it looked like these planes always look - plane-shaped and white.

By the time we had made our way around the block, the two chem-trails were stretched horizon-to-horizon (east to west), then I saw two UFOs! They were flying west-to-east at a very low altitude (I could see them quite clearly), “wing to wing” as it were, keeping pace with and never changing their distance form each other. I couldn’t gauge their size because they were in the middle of the sky - there was nothing to compare them to. Like how the moon looks large at the horizon, but how looks small at the zenith of the sky. They finally disappeared from my sight. This picture shows where they went (I wish I had had my camera during the event and not after):

Now, after all the brouhaha in Stephenville a few weeks ago and the subsequent explanation from the military, it’s possible what I saw were actually jets of some sort. However, three things stand out for me:

1. They were shaped like the cockpit of a space shuttle, except there was no real body to them. They were short and sleek and I really couldn’t make out wings.

2. They didn’t make any noise. Now, I know I’m hard-of-hearing, but considering how clearly I could see them, I would have thought I’d hear something as well.

3. They glinted. They looked like they were highly polished, and reflected the sunlight like a mirror.

Again, this doesn’t mean that they were from another world or had alien life aboard. They were just aircraft I didn’t recognize. Still, East Austin seems to be the place to be for oddities in the sky. I’m going to start bringing my camera with me all the time from now on. Maybe I’ll get a real picture one of these days.

More light than heat

So, the South Koreans (oddly referred to in the article as “SKoreans”) have cloned cats AND made them glow in the dark. That’s pretty damn cool, but I’d like a cat that gave off heat and could be set like a thermostat - from “bed-warmer” to “turkey roast”.   I’d really love a cat that could shoot lasers out of its eyes, though I’m betting the dog wouldn’t.
