    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.

    Well, you surely didn't start with "Hi Bob!", did you? :laugh:

              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.

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

                          Curious. Were you aware that that song was written and originally recorded by a group named Klaatu? And that the group named Klaatu went on to become the Alan Parsons Project? Most people aren't, because the line-up of Klaatu was (and probably still is) a fiercely guarded secret. (Naughty me) I do love a good coincidence.

                                    Are you on the underside of the world on some sort of massive coordinated wind up? A Facebook friend of mine who lives in Oz posted a load of photographs of UFOs hovering over Brisbane around the same time you posted and is acting as if they are genuine. I'm getting a little worried now, if aliens have made contact they're going to think we're all like the Australians, this cannot end well.

                                      I think I might have known that in the back of my mind somewhere. Thinking back on what the alien told me, some of it almost hinted at Klaatu's message (in the movie)

                                        What did the alien look like ?

                                        I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

                                        I know it sounds almost stupid, but I find it really hard to describe. It was definately humanoid - two arms, two legs - and it seemed to walk. It had a floor length what, poncho, I guess - plain colour (it was vey dark) I'd guess either grey or a dark blue. Its head was large - for its body - it probably came up to my nipples or a bit smaller, but I'd guess its head was about the same size as mine. It had no hair, but quite a lumpy scull. Two forward facing eyes - but they didn't move or blink that I noticed - that was probably the creepiest thing about it - it looked like it was just staring the whole time. I thought afterwards it might have been a mask - but I don't know. Maybe a helmet - which might explain the seeming large head. Arms were short and stubby and very animated as it spoke. It's mouth definitely moved - so maybe not a mask- but it was a bit like watching a dubbed movie, or one out of synch - but again, it was very dark.

                                          Are you on the underside of the world on some sort of massive coordinated wind up? A Facebook friend of mine who lives in Oz posted a load of photographs of UFOs hovering over Brisbane around the same time you posted and is acting as if they are genuine. I'm getting a little worried now, if aliens have made contact they're going to think we're all like the Australians, this cannot end well.

                                          I'd appreciate it if you could point me to those photos.
