I was sitting on my porch about 10PM one summer night a couple of years ago. I had been sitting out there with my wife Kimmie for a couple of hours when a ball of light appeared far away in the northern sky. At first I thought the light was a shooting star but it continued to draw closer and closer until it was hovering what seemed to be a few miles to the north of my house. It continued to hover for what seemed to be forever, seemingly watching and waiting for us to make a move. The fireball was very bright and flashed colors of orange, yellow, and blue from its fiery depths. We were scared at first sighting but a calmness came over us and we were fascinated by the unidentified flying object. When the object disappeared into the starry night, we were in disbelief at what had just happened. We now know we are not alone. We know deep in our hearts that there are other lifeforms out there just watching and waiting to make their move on us.
