In reply to the discussion: Have any of you seen a true-blue U.F.O. that you believe was extraterrestrial? [View all]Decoy of Fenris
(1,954 posts)My old man and I go back to that one time and time again. He's more inclined towards UFOlogy than myself; I'm Scully to his Mulder, essentially, but we saw what we saw and both accounts are identical.
There was no sound produced at all from either the area of the object or in the local environment. At least, none of memorable note; Local fauna and flora sounds may have been affected in one way or another but my senses were a bit more attuned to the giant floating ball of incomprehensible light. No smells, either, or if they were there, they were masked by being out in a semi-rural area with all the accompanying scents (manure, dirt, woodland, et cet). The night was uneventful, it was a cool summer so if the air temperature had fluctuated it was within normal range and otherwise unnoticeable... I'm trying to think of other things of note, but aside from the floating ball of light, nothing immediately sticks out. Then again, this was... at least ten years ago, so memory may fail.
The only thing under its path was grass; it was mildly wet, which I wrote off as dew but ...in just-realized-this-moment retrospect, what the fuck was dew doing on the grass at around one in the morning... but we didn't take a sample or anything.
And you're welcome, bud. It's an interesting story, one that I'm fond of telling all the moreso because of my own skepticism of it. Were I to tell myself that story pre-event, I'd laugh in my own face.
