“Dramatic!”
“Awesome!”
“It’s only the sun coming through the clouds.”
“We do remember what happened some years ago.”
“It was bizarre.”
“Nah, that was just a trick in the sky.”
“You can’t diss it.”
“We’re all there at the time.”
“I’m saying nothing.”
“Well, we are still looking.”
“And there is still something rather strange up there.”
“Hmm.”
“Come on, let’s walk a bit.”
“Yep, up there.”
“Hmm, if I must.”
So they walked up there, while still looking up.
“Oh wow, that was defo a UFO.”
“And off it went.”
“Bugger… and ouch.”
“Oh, can we help you up?”

I once thought I saw a UFO. I was a teenager on a camping trip with my friends near Lake Mead which was near where I lived in Las Vegas. It was also near the fabled Area 51 which was then the testing grounds for the new (back then) Air Force stealth aircraft. What I saw was probably a very real government test, just a point of light in the sky to me.

That’s a fun poem story and a great picture. When I was in the Swedish army in northern Sweden, on the border between Sweden and Finland we saw something remarkable. There was a huge blue/green shiny elliptical object in the sky. It turned out to be a natrium cloud left behind a Russian intercontinental missile sent from Murmansk, a Soviet navy base not too far from where we were.

My goodness! That must have been rather scary? Also I just looked up ‘a natrium cloud’ – I hadn’t heard of that. Interesting.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Oh I just googled it myself. I should have said “natrium exhaust cloud” or “sodium exhaust cloud”. It is something a rocket can create in the upper atmosphere. However, it is not just sodium. Sodium is seeding the cloud but it is mostly water droplets. It is shiny and really weird looking though. The SpaceX rocket has created some.

You reminded me of one of the ‘Midsummer Murder’ episodes… where the son fooled his father by using old army equiptment with some new mechanics. There was more to the story, like the business that had a van, and the resurant that promoted outerspace alien stuff.
I suppose if I would like to believe in all the Trek and Star Wars adventures I would have to think that there is something out there!

Have I mentioned ‘Orville’ (Sci-fi) – used to be on a free channel for us, but when it went to a paid station we stopped following it.
“The Orville is an American science fiction comedy-drama television series created by and starring Seth MacFarlane.” I don’t know which streaming service has it… looks like one can get it on Hulu…
There is a You-tube spoof of the whole story in 28 minutes. I haven’t looked at it though. 🥸
