    I was setting up my camera last night to do some time-lapse photos of the night sky. Saw a shooting star - and was really annoyed at myself for not having the camera ready! But the star didn't disappear after a second or two - it got brighter... And it landed - in the woods behind our house - seriously! I ran and jumped over the fence - and there in the middle of the trees was, well, a flying saucer - there's no other way of describing it. It was metal by the looks of it, certainly ticking with heat. It was dark so I could only really see a silhouette - no glowing lights here. There was a noise - and an alien - yep - seriously - an alien walked out, walked up to me and spoke. (I was wondering if I had time to dash back and get my camera but was too scared to leave in case it went away!) Anyway - it spoke quite clearly, in slightly muffled English. It told me a bunch of stuff I won't go into, but didn't respond when I spoke at all. When it finished what it was saying, it turned, marched back to the 'saucer' which then took off - vertically and all but silently, into the night. I went back this morning, and there's no sign of, well, anything at all! Not even a scorched leaf that I can see (I marked the spot by laving my jumper there, so I know exactly where it was) Astonishing.

              Surely, Brother _Maxxx_, this is yet another omen and miraculous portent presaging the imminent manifestation of PooperPig on Earth, incarnate as Vishnu-in-the-aspect-of-Kalki, to bring to apocalyptic close this dark final fourth Yuga of the cosmic Kalpa-cycle where the dark aspect of Mother Kali turns all to chaos. And, Thee, as Chosen Messenger, Hierophant of the Eschaton: what a glorious Honor ! Did the Alien, by any chance, say the words "Happy Meal" ? cheers, Bill

                                  Surely, Brother _Maxxx_, this is yet another omen and miraculous portent presaging the imminent manifestation of PooperPig on Earth, incarnate as Vishnu-in-the-aspect-of-Kalki, to bring to apocalyptic close this dark final fourth Yuga of the cosmic Kalpa-cycle where the dark aspect of Mother Kali turns all to chaos. And, Thee, as Chosen Messenger, Hierophant of the Eschaton: what a glorious Honor ! Did the Alien, by any chance, say the words "Happy Meal" ? cheers, Bill

                                  Bill, To be called Brother by one so worldly (and, indeed, wordy) is humbling. But an omen? A portent? I don't think so. I think being in the right place at the right time - I attach no special significance that 'twas me. Much was said by the alien - some of it more-or-less profound much of it pretty incomprehensible, to me - or, at least, meaningless without context. No mention of any type of fast food was made, though.

                                    I can vouch for your account because I was a passenger on the craft.

                                    LOL - you must be pretty small, then, as there didn't even seem to be enough room for it, let alone a passenger!

                                      Were you, perhaps, drinking with Nagy in the past few days? That could explain a lot...

                                      I wish! But when Nagy drinks until he sees double, all he sees is another double-gin!

                                        As I recall, I mainly said "But..." "But how.." "That's not..." "Really! Are you..." and so on.

                                          Brother _Maxxx_, that is exactly the humble response one would expect to be uttered by the Chosen Messenger, Hierophant of the Eschaton ! Hail Vishnu/Kalki/PooperPig ! Ludi incipiant ! cheers, Bill
