Short stories: Aliens

Created on: May 21, 2008

Every night before I go to bed I look at the sky. The reason is because I wonder if there is something out there more than my eye can see. Sometimes I take out my binoculars and catch a glimps of a falling star. I just found out that there has been more than three hundred UFO sightings. Many say that the sightings are stars and planets. The government is doing mayor investigation on UFOS. It use to be ridiculous for anyone to mention the sightings of UFOS before. People were afraid to say anything because they didn't want to sound crazy. Or become a laughing stock. But now we have come along way. With a little luck and a click of the camera we can prove that there are flying things out there that are unexplainable. Just like it happened to me. The year was 1973 I lived in one of San Carlos California apartments. We had a balcony with a view. Out in the distance we could see some lights of San Francisco. This one night I sat and watched the great Hollywood classics. I had never really believed in flying saucers. The idea of other beings besides the earthly humans was just plain crazy to me. But this one night I stopped watching the movies to wash my dishes. As I looked out of my kitchen window I seen a little orange light. I became curious and pressed my face practically on the glass to see what this strange light was. Then saw a small round shape ship of some kind. Underneath it had orange little lights. The little lights were blinking it hovered in one spot without making any noise. I watched for awhile like in a trance. I felt as if someone was watching me. I wanted to see more so I made my way pass the living room to my balcony but it had disappeared. I never found out if by chance Hollywood had been in the area. Many people have seen strange things in the sky. One year my sister and I were at the park and it was starting to get dark when we notice this huge weird thing in the sky. We didn't think it was a blimp so we decided to follow it. In so doing we had forgotten our hungry family. I guess we were gone for quite some time because our husbands were wondering where we where. When they asked about us they were told that we were out chasing UFOs. This became a big joke with the family. Well I don't doubt if you seen UFOs anything is possible. So for those out there who believe in UFOs it's okay as long as you feed your family first. Then you can chase them.
