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.

You wouldn't happen to have been licking some toxic frogs yesterday, have you?

Hi Dave,
If he denies frogs, we might want to ask about toads ?
cheers, Bill

This[^] is what comes to mind.

Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.
I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours!

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.

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)

Um....no. Where on earth did you hear that?
As far as I can tell, John Woloschuk, Dee Long, and Terry Draper never had anything to do with the APP.

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.

Brother _Maxxx_, that is exactly the humble response one would expect to be uttered by the Chosen Messenger, Hierophant of the Eschaton !
Hail Vishnu/Kalki/PooperPig !
Ludi incipiant !
cheers, Bill

Did it hurt a lot?

LOL - you must be pretty small, then, as there didn't even seem to be enough room for it, let alone a passenger!

Were you, perhaps, drinking with Nagy in the past few days? That could explain a lot...
Will Rogers never met me.

I wish!
But when Nagy drinks until he sees double, all he sees is another double-gin!

Well, you surely didn't start with "Hi Bob!", did you? 
Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!

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