What do I see before me?
September 25, 2001 | 8:52 pmFor lighter look at life, check this out: I saw my first UFO! ^_^
I was in the midst of one of my late night walk/jogs and I was enjoying the stars since it was a clear night. Then I came across some blinking lights. Now, I live in the path that many planes use when they’re arriving or exiting our local airport…far enough away so it’s not noisy at all and close enough so that you can see numerous planes a day. So, I thought the lights were coming from a plane at first…
However, the lights were much closer to the ground than the planes that usually fly overhead…and there was no noise, which would have been quite audible if a plane was flying that low. There were three blinking lights in a triangular formation moving at a slow uniform pace. The positioning of the lights didn’t look like any plane I’d ever seen at night. Suddenly a ‘WTF?’ feeling came over me. Am I actually seeing a UFO? It sure resembled some of the descriptions I’d heard before…
I got closer and closer…trying to make out any detail I could, as well as trying to contain my excitement. Eventually I could start to hear a low hum coming from it which I didn’t recognize (at first). And then I could start to make out a shape in the darkness. It was becoming clearer…becoming clearer…could it be…that is was…
…The Goodyear Blimp ^^;;;
Boy, did I feel stupid. ^^
Goodyear World HQ is in my area, so seeing the blimp is a semi-regular occurance. But I’d never seen it at night with almost all of its lights off. It does one impressive UFO imitation from a distance. :P
