[QUOTE]Originally posted by Baloo: [QB] I used to have a series of dreams where I had telekinesis. Within the dream, I could feel a part of my brain (somewhere inside my skull when it isn't hiding [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/wink.gif[/IMG]) "flex", rather like the sensation of a muscle flexing, whenever I exerted the power. The last time I had that dream, I awoke feeling as though I had figured out how to do telekinesis. I got up and sat a lighter on the coffee table and [i][b]stared[/b][/i] at the damn thing for more than 30 minutes before I decided that perhaps maybe I didn't really have telekinesis after all. Then I had breakfast. That was in 1982. I once saw three UFOs in the night sky. It was just before I went to Korea for the first time. I was on leave and visiting my mom in Sacramento (Sacratomato! The world's [i]biggest[/i] hick town! If it wasn't for the state government, the largest employer would be the Libbey's packing plant). I was standing in her back yard having a cigarrette (she doesn't smoke so I don't stink up her house). One evening I looked up into the western sky, and from the direction of McClellan AFB (3 miles distant) I saw 3 aircraft in vee formation approaching. I listened for the engine sounds and heard nothing. They appeared to be reflecting city light, so I figured they must be at no less than 1,000 feet altitude (roughly 350 meters). They silently cruised overhead on an easterly heading. [i]Still[/i] no engine sound, nor the sound of air rushing over their fuselages. I'd been watching them for about a minute now and had been wracking my brain in an effort to identify these aircraft. I estimated their speed to be around 100-150 mph. They should have been making some sort of noise, but I still was not hearing anything other than the muted sounds of the freeway and other typical night noises. I calculated the wingspan to be between 30 and 60 feet, with a fuselage length of around 2/3 that amount. The wings were straight from the wingroot to a point about midway between the the fuselage and the wingtip. The inner section was slightly forward-swept. At the mid-wing point, the wings swept back around 15 degrees, tapering to a sharp tip. The fuselage looked cylindrical, with a pointed nose ending in a fan-shaped tail with a straight trailing edge. Nothing I could think of matched that description. As I watched the three craft dissappear into the eastern night sky, I remember thinking: "Hmmm... Could not identify. Technically this means it's a UFO. Maybe if I wait for a bit they'll return?" Just as I had that thought I got a "creepy" feeling and decided it was time to go back inside. Three years later, while I was stationed at Cannon AFB, I went to visit my mom in "the Big Tomato" again. Same time of night, similar atmospheric conditions, similar circumstances. I was in the back yard having a smoke when I noticed a single object approaching from the west. I couldn't believe my luck! Here was another one! I watched it intently, doing all my mental calculations regarding size, speed, and configuration, hoping [i]this[/i] time to identify the mysterious plane! I started going through my mental list of what planes might look this way under these circumstances. As I watched, it followed the same course that the others had years ago, exhibiting the same steady, silent progress. Eureka! It made a sound! <center><font size="+1">"Squaaaark-ark-ark-ark-ark!!"</font></center> Damn! It was only a seagull! Despite my earlier assumptions, I did not realize that an object cruising at an altitude of 50 feet could be so well-lit from beneath by the ambient light of the city. That's why I was unable to identify my first sighting. --Baloo [/QB][/QUOTE]
