UFO

I couldn't help but notice one night around Christmas time, as I let my out, a very bright star in the sky southwest of where I live. As I gazed, it would seem to become brighter, then slowly dim and then disappear completely. After a couple of minutes it reappeared again, and always in the same location. I thought at first the disappearing and reappearing was caused by clouds floating by. It fascinated me. The first thought to cross my mind at that time of year was the Star of Bethlehem. However, after the Noel Joyeux was over, I began thinking more along the line of UFOs...or spying satellites. As I studied it each night for longer periods of time, I began noticing fine lines of electricity sometimes flashing near it. Then sometimes another light would appear not too far away from the bright one and it seemed to be hovering.

"Am I the only one seeing this?" thought I. "Why hasn't anyone phoned this in?" I thought of phoning about it myself but decided to study it a little longer. I started to show this amazing activity to guests who visited me. They too were fascinated.

As I studied, I noticed one full moon night that it was not clouds floating by that made the light disappear. It just would fade away, almost as though it saw me looking at it. I would quickly close the inside door, and when I reopened it, there it was again, bright as ever. It would disappear again as I stared...and there would be the fine lines of light again...and maybe another hovering light not too far away. Sometimes two.

Sighhhh. Then the other day I let my out as usual and I suddenly thought..."Gee I wonder if I can see anything in the daytime!" I looked exactly where I always see the bright star....and lo and behold I DID...I DID see something!!! It was a very strange shape, long and narrow with a kind of bulbous end to it. Rather like a high-tech street light. You guessed it. It WAS a street light. Apparently the town had installed a new light in the park located just southwest of me. The light was to brighten and fade intermittently.. (I haven't found out why yet.)By the way I still see those fine lines of electricity near it. The hovering lights...I guess could have been planes. LOL

I felt quite silly about this and then laughed and chalked it all up to learning about imagination and having some entertainment over the last few weeks! Between the UFO and the guest partridge/ptarmigan we had, it's been kind of fun! Anyway the UFO is now the IFO. Mystery solved! And....um....I don't think I will tell my guests when they come over again. I will just let them have fun watching it. heh, heh, heh.


Ciao for now.
