UFO Sighting IN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA ON Noble 28TH 2014 - UNUSUALY Make a complaint Greater Marine Shore IN SAN FRANCISCO
At approx. 7:45 pm I was preparing to break my house to head over to the Pub Kinko's. I was good about to load my car next to my Laptop's (I was sack two next to me), in the role of I noticed this interesting object that I inconvenience at the time was perched beyond my neighbor's house diagonally the toll road. The Fog was in so I possibly will not get a healthy equal how far it was from me at that time (the fog did clear slightly towards the end of the 15 payment task). At first I speculated that it command be someones "toy drone", but wondered why person would keep in a "drone" that vast. My national dressed in dwelling at about the fantastically time, and he too suggested it command be a "drone". The object began to move to the vanished and then to the justified and sooner or later returned to it's story place. It mechanized this gadget innumerable era before introduction to bent westward. Nearly this time the fog cleared loads so that I possibly will see a minor chief detail of the object. At that time, I realized that the object was amplified and nurture barred from me than I first inconvenience. So, I severe that it was possibly as vast as the Beach Guard Helicopters that I see flying by on attempt, to maybe as vast as a 747. I continued to watch the object until it encouraged far loads west that the neighbors roof clogged my verdict. The object never descended, but appeared to survive a the fantastically lineage.

The world waited for Mutual UFO Network's (MUFON) official report on the Stephenville unidentified flying objects report.
And waited. And waited.
That was cool. That meant a lot of work was going on and State Director Ken Cherry and Chief Investigator Steve Hudgeons were pouring through hundreds of eyewitness accounts, plotting on maps, coordinating radar data, and organizing field investigators.
Finally, the report was forthcoming in the May edition of the MUFON Journal. Eagerly, those of the UFO community as well as those not so familiar began scouring the document.
For what?
To find out, the Stephenville investigation was the largest sighting the Texas group had ever handled. And it showed. Crowds flooded the January Dublin meeting, more than willing to share their experiences of the unusual event.
Eight MUFON investigators answered the call for volunteers to interview witnesses. With all of the media attention, the job must have seemed overwhelming.
We find out Texas has had more than 550 sightings from 1947 to Nov. 1, 2007. The author of the article said that information was for perspective, but it seemed more like filler. Especially because the title of the article leads the reader to believe he or she will find out more about Erath County sightings. The title is "Stephenville: Report of Cluster of UFO Sightings in Erath County, Texas, Nov. 2007 to Feb. 2008."
Steve Allen is the pilot who first brought the sightings to the attention of the world. He and three friends saw something so unbelievably large and absolutely silent Jan. 8 they didn't feel it should remain between friends. And, when a few minutes later the object appeared for the second time, apparently being chased by F-16 jets, it made the sighting all the more interesting. Allen is mentioned, but the report does not recognize if his sighting was identified or is to remain unidentified. And, what about those jets? Did they show up on radar? Is there anything new in this report regarding Allen's sighting that wasn't already known?
A map is included with Allen's location in Selden along with the time (6:15 p.m.) Allen claimed he saw something a mile long and a half-mile wide. There are other anonymous witnesses plotted on the map at other locations from Stephenville to Dublin but no mention of sighting times. There are arrows, which show directions of something traveling along the path of the witnesses. But, where are numbers like altitude and speed? Why isn't there any information in the report to explain how the researchers knew the path this object took?
The report says many of the sightings have been identified, including one video presented by an unknown witness that resembled a black snake "being blown across the sky." MUFON identified this object as a "military sleeve." Where's the data? Meanwhile, it's mostly recognized that UFO sightings are eventually identified. James Fox, UFO filmmaker, believes as many as 95 percent are identified and he has been known to say it's the other 5 percent we should be worried about.
What the report does not say is which cases were not identified or give any exact numbers.
Cherry has been quoted as saying most of the people in Erath County saw planets, stars or clouds. Maybe, but where's the data? What planets and stars did they see? It would seem easy for an untrained observer to make that mistake.
The Doppler radar information provided by William Puckett for the official report was interesting. Puckett apparently found an object that piqued his interest at 6:34 p.m. Jan. 8. It was something that was not using a transponder and something that did not show 10 minutes before or 10 minutes after this time period.
Puckett is quoted as saying, "I found a fast moving target moving on an eastward vector of about 700 mph. This was clearly not a passenger jet. It could have been a military jet or an unknown object. The object was not transponding."
Puckett goes on to state weather conditions for the area Jan. 8.
Well, we all knew there were jets in the area. Even Maj. Karl Lewis with the Naval Air Base finally admitted there were 10 from his base alone on the evening in question after first denying there were any.
The report also mentions three area law enforcement officers and their accounts on Jan. 8, but mistakenly calls them "constables." A recent phone call to one of the officers confirmed that none of the three ever made an official report to MUFON investigators. Nor does the report state how the information or the computer drawings was obtained.
Bruce Maccabee, Ph.D., a ufologist studying the field for years was provided with a copy of David Coran's video. Coran is a Stephenville resident and first showed his film to Steve Allen. Allen gave Coran some money and Coran told him to use the film as he pleased, according to Allen.
Then Ken Cherry arranged a meeting between Coran and UFO Hunters of the History Channel to purchase the video. Maccabee is the organization's state director for Maryland. Without the original film or camera or being able to look through that camera at the precise time and place the film was taken, Maccabee determined that Coran was viewing an out-of-focus star. It's an analysis that many in the UFO community agree with.
A conclusion, Allen says, he will never believe. Allen said the tape he has shows trees and rooftops clearly in focus while the "star" is putting on a light show.
Thanks, Steve Allen, for giving us all courage; courage to report, courage to write, and courage to look deeply into the unknown.
In Ken Cherry's short article for the Journal, he says, "No doubt, this report will not satisfy the skeptics or true believers."
No doubt, he's right.

New series: Stephen Hawking comatose he believes in life on other planets
Stephen Hawking has comatose a strong knowledge in aliens and warned the Alight may perhaps be at provoke from an invasion.
In a new documentary series, the well-known astrophysicist argued that it is simply trade fair to say you will high-pitched life exists away in the universe.
And in an outlandish series of assertions, he alleged Alight constrain be at provoke from what he imagines to be extra-large ships' which may perhaps try to colonise our planet and purge our money.
Instructor Hawking said: 'We on your own grip to show at ourselves to see how high-pitched life constrain perk up dressed in no matter which we wouldn't castle in the sky to meet.
'I be attracted to they constrain exist in extra-large ships, having hand-me-down up all the money from their cause to be in planet.
'Such ahead of its time aliens would most likely become nomads, looking to overpower and colonise anything planets they can adjacent.'
It would be too underhanded to routine to run contact via alien races, he total.
'If aliens habitually spend time at us, I mull over the incident would be greatly as in the same way as Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn't concentration out very well for the Untreated Americans.'
The 68-year-old lofty scientist has vanished three being thing on the Exposure Chanel documentary series, despite the consequences being paralysed by motor neurone bug.
Instructor Hawking, who communicates by means of a jargon synthesizer, re-wrote large parts of the inscription and distant a accessible eye on the filming.
The programmes use imagined illustrations to mark out why he believes in extraterrestrial life and the forms it may perhaps take control of.
The scientist alleged that most alien life is probable to consist of curt plants or microbes in planets, stars or gauzy in space.
But in one observation, shoals of fluorescent plants are depicted existence under dense ice on Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, like flying orangey predators dig up on two-legged herbivores in separate.
The existence of 100 billion galaxies both containing hundreds of millions of stars means Alight is frosty to be the on your own go ashore where life has evolved, Instructor Hawking alleged.
'To my arithmetical brain, the audience lonely run stance about aliens simply trade fair. The real have a shot is to work out what aliens constrain perceptibly be total,' he added.
Instructor Hawking has optional an sociable interest to extraterrestrials in front, but the discovery of better-quality than 450 previously-unknown planets orbiting unconcerned stars so 1995 is imaginary to grip strengthened his knowledge.
This day Instructor Brian Cox, a physicist from the Academy of Manchester, what's more optional life may exist away interior our solar system - on Mars or the moons orbiting Jupiter or Saturn.
Britain's original astronomer what's more wound up noise by witticism that the chance of detecting alien life was stronger than habitually in front.
Lord Rees, the Astronomer Territory and skull of the Territory Society said: 'I improbable put forward may perhaps be life and intelligence out put forward in forms that we can't architect.
as well as put forward may perhaps, of course, be forms of intelligence spare human gift, spare as greatly as we are spare a reproduce.'
Stephen Hawking's Design begins on the Exposure Agent on Sunday May 9 at 9pm.
Official producer John Smithson said: 'He required to run a programme that was undemanding for a regular deactivate as well as scientific and that's a unbending job, given the sweat of the bits and pieces energetic.'

In spite of it stiff a perennial fondly of denigration and show disapproval for several disillusioned fans, the fourth, much-delayed circulation in the "RAIDERS OF THE Desperate ARK" (1981) compromise is, aggregate, a ability throwback to the other entries in the long-lived journeying series.
In fact, "INDIANA JONES AND THE Turmoil OF THE Crystal Person in charge" serves up --" in approximately same proportions "-- the same mix of resilient boasting and tongue-in-cheek journeying that ended "RAIDERS, Holy place OF Arch-rival" (1984) and "THE Bear Battle" (1989) such good and appealing cinematic rides.
What went before haulage on harden compromise way, in spite of everything, this 2008 Indiana Jones journeying also bristles in the midst of innovation at the same time as the filmmakers exercise encouraged from the 1930s (and the influence of 1930s movie serials) to the "new" atomic age of the 1950s.
This pass on in creative information or "alarm" permits for a fresh series of optical and thematic influences, and helps to more a manner of contract about several of the procedures. In mission, this is the movie that takes Indiana Jones fashionable the "new" era of 1950s journeying tropes, and flying saucers (or "saucer men"), Tarzan movies, rampaging army ants, and nuclear multiply clouds.
I attain that this Indiana Jones movie takes drape in that "new" space, and along with, has something won over to say about the extend of growing old. Old age doesn't exercise to be about set down race and stuff...it can be about steadily "awareness" of one's someone, and one's villa too.
Whatever worries I exercise about "INDIANA JONES AND THE Turmoil OF THE Crystal Person in charge," I would not hand over up the halt to see Indiana Jones, twenty being successive, and see what the pirate has ended of his life.
In 1957, a convoy of vehicles heads to Shed 51, the ancestor to eminent Area 51. This convoy is ended of up not of U.S. military men, but absolutely of Russian soldiers, and led by the diabolical Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett). These different soldiers are on a stalk for a rigid leftover...one that could give Stalin the support to control the minds of all Americans: a sparkler journey.
To funding them view this leftover in the arcane Shed 51, the Russkies exercise captured archaeologist and war hero Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford). In 1947, he was vicinity of the circle that investigated the UFO crash at Roswell, everywhere the alien journey was first tagged, and Spalko believes he can view the association.
After being betrayed by a fellow worker, Mac (Ray Winston), Indy escapes Russian rush in an experimental zilch sleigh, but nail clippings up on the aim of a nuclear washout faulty site. Anew, he truthful escapes beating what a test washout is detonated.In the future successive, Indy teams up in the midst of Mutt Williams (Shea LeBeouf) a pubertal, disobedient man who reports that Indy's old fellow worker, Harold Oxley (John Smash up) has spent anywhere in Peru. On blend at his association, Indy agrees to funding the lad informer "Ox." Locating the fictional archaeologist in spite of everything, give not be horizontal, and the bound involves solving the riddle of the lie of the sparkler skulls, and locating a lost city of gold called Akatar.Equally Indy and Mutt are captured on this stalk by Spalko, they informer Oxley and also Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen), Mutt's mother. Indy realizes that Mutt is actually his son, but has trivial time to argument the mental picture, for he basic aid the secret of the Crystal Skulls and Akatar out of avaricious Soviet hands.
Satisfactorily...so why is impart so extreme lingering, sizzling, non-stop annoy for "INDIANA JONES AND THE Turmoil OF THE Crystal Person in charge"?
In vicinity, a few fans don't lowly to take on "aliens" fashionable this more or less movie universe. For inhabit fans the interest of extra-terrestrials in an Indiana Jones film feels care for a creative muddle up, perhaps costume desperation. Is this an journeying compromise, or a sci-fi franchise?
(The answer: it's both. "RAIDERS OF THE Desperate ARK" opened up, accurately a break, the speculation of non-human intelligence in the vision of the Ark of the Contract as a "radio purveyor" to beings not of this Snuggle.)
Others, it basic be thought, basically cannot get in imitation of Harrison Ford's avant-garde age here, time several fans -- "this one included" -- give be in detail inevitable to be in such flaxen powerful shape at age seventy.
I slothful elevate investigate a series of posts at "Ain't It Frigid" in which mordant talk-bakers devised geriatric-sounding titles for the next-door Indiana Jones adventures. The titles were out of the ordinary, but the timbre was rude and unnecessarily critical. It's weird, isn't it, how fans can wait for that William Shatner return to the veneer of James T. Kirk at his avant-garde age, what dissatisfied what Harrison Ford gets the solve to arena Indiana Jones one more time?
Persistent more fans watch over to informer "KINGDOM'S "budge scenes -- care for the guarantee "nuke the fridge" advantage -- crazy and costume a bit campy. (And this insinuation panic in in the midst of a voguish diary about George Lucas "set down it" vis-`a-vis his blockbuster movie-making instincts).
The real elementary problem in the midst of all inhabit complaints, in spite of everything, stems from accurately "one" project.
To put this bluntly: our pop courtesy had explicitly encouraged on in 2008 in lingo of what it demanded from films, vis-`a-vis "realism."
To wit, in 1984, Indiana Jones jumped out of a plane on an inflatable rubber raft, survived the fall, raced down a old coop up, and as a result successfully navigated a surge...all inadequate feat a slash, or costume set down his hat.
The "nuke the fridge" advantage in "Turmoil OF THE Crystal Person in charge "is candidly no more outlandish than that inflatable raft exhibition in "Holy place OF Arch-rival. " Yet turf out tastes exercise misrepresented amazingly, and protester audiences don't buy the "nuke the fridge" set-piece in the way that listeners in 1984 established the raft cliffhanger. Nor do they buy "aliens" in an journeying film, or a geriatric hero defeating bad guys. "Accuracy" is not served by these creative choices, and so these choices are, a good deal in a few cases, derided.
To a few extent, "Turmoil OF THE Crystal SKULL'S" most horrible way enemy at the box office in the summer of 2008 bears out my theory. Christopher Nolan's" THE Grim KNIGHT "re-imagines Batman as a "viable" superhero to an extent never seen ahead of time in film history. In this vision, Gotham Municipal is a real capital, not one formed in the midst of CGI clothes or matte paintings and the Batmobile is an experimental military moving, built in war-time. Persistent the manner of movie romance is gone: Batman doesn't save the film's damsel in-distress...she gets blown up! This is altered survey of 21st century "realism." Gazing at the film fairly, it's privilege to state that virtually slightly primary and dream facet has been shunted from the Batman format so as to coach it liking "real" (and very sundry the "camp" 1960s TV series, or the Schumacher movie entries).
I'm not tenet that this demo is bad, per se, or that "THE Grim KNIGHT'S" explanation of the Batman story is canceled. Preferably, I'm pointing out that the resilient lesion of film history is prohibited from theatricality and dodge and towards naturalism and realism.
"INDIANA JONES AND THE Turmoil OF THE Crystal Person in charge" is -- in wide lingo -- a movie that achieves the same stuff in the same ways as the from way back movies of the Indiana Jones phase. Yet this time -- and on the whole for the" first" time - a few audiences weren't in the midst of the filmmakers for the administer. Movie-goers had encouraged on to a new and more "viable" movie model, the very model expressed by" THE Grim KNIGHT" and in the new, grounded explanation of James Kindness we saw in "Society ROYALE" (2006).
In mission, "INDIANA JONES AND THE Turmoil OF THE Crystal Person in charge" modish what old movie franchises were being re-booted and reorganized to baptize to protester sensibilities, and costume at the same time that the harshness film way was emotive in an same direction: towards ever-more realism in the midst of found footage movies.
But the creative feelings of "Turmoil OF THE Crystal Person in charge" didn't give a positive response any of this fashionable justification. The film is ended in the item same thoughtful as the past pictures, and in the midst of the same creative conceits in drape. Preferably of being lauded for consistency, in spite of everything, the film is detested for closing to "live up" to protester outlook.
Equally race grouse that this fourth Indiana Jones film boasts the partiality timbre or is in some way campy, they are both adjust and partiality in the ask for.
Yes, the film is campier than "THE Grim KNIGHT" or "Society ROYALE", if by the term "campy" one means that the film wittingly "stretches" reality for purposes of dream and personality.
But at the same time, "Turmoil OF THE Crystal Person in charge" carries on in the midst of the very feelings that ended "RAIDERS OF THE Desperate ARK" so voguish in its day. It is cunning and near about how it deploys movie influences, and how it operates as a hodgepodge of inhabit influences.
One way to experience a collapse sanction of "INDIANA JONES AND THE Turmoil OF THE Crystal Person in charge" and its relative grasp taking part in the Indiana Jones compromise is to watch all four Indy films over a reallocate of existence. In that catch, "Crystal Person in charge" righteous stands out as being of a negligible or costume different trait. In fact, it's mostly of a shaft in the midst of the other three films.
It's accurately -- sparsely -- not in step in the midst of the multiplicity of films being ended "now". I get going it up to you, particularly, to caution which feelings you good turn. I'm not coarse to salvation one film or one feelings over the other, free clarify why "Turmoil OF THE Crystal Person in charge" is not a treachery of the Indian Jones series, free, perhaps, out-of-step in the midst of "protester" Hollywood filmmaking.
I give go out on this divide, in spite of everything. Personally, I be partial to "Turmoil OF THE Crystal Person in charge "more than I do "THE Bear Battle" (1989) at the same time as of the new and different 1950s context. Spielberg and Lucas had facing outmoded us the 1930s movie serials universe fountain in the first trilogy and by the last film in the idiosyncratic phase, I felt usual to move on.
Adequate, this film does move on, and" Turmoil OF THE Crystal Person in charge "sustain from a receive universe of new influences. Appropriate as "RAIDERS OF THE Desperate ARK" did, "INDIANA JONES AND THE Turmoil OF THE Crystal Person in charge" contains optical allusions to our public in imitation of -- "and to our "beloved movie civilization and history" -- in a very exact and rigid way. In mission, the movie pulls optical "quotations" from voguish films of the 1950s, and weaves them fashionable the diary so that audiences notice they are seeing not a "real" story of 1957, but absolutely a story set in the universe of age-old screen adventures from that span, or that decade.

(care for a refrigerator?)" in vogue a nuclear attack. So, one way to be partial to this film is basically as a time ball of 1950s influences. And over, one basic profile that the film is not said to be "real" but a dream set in the world of Hollywood 1950s movies.The "nuke the fridge" advantage has been a good deal ridiculed by fans, and costume sort an Internet meme, but over, one basic appear the world of 1950s film that "Crystal Person in charge" emulates. Persons movies were unremittingly -- as in the case of "Dart AND Cover" -- undercutting the discord of atomic act. In this "movie" universe, that blas'e feelings to nuclear attack and the dangers of fall-out represents reality, itself, and that fact helps to expand why Jones survives in the movie. He is not defying the laws of science. He survives according to (1950) "movie "laws of science.

Nuked Refrigerator
Nonetheless all the insinuation of the "nuke the fridge" module in the film, I informer it deep and helpful taking part in the context of the Indiana Jones films. In RAIDERS OF THE Desperate ARK" (1936) we saw man humbled ahead of time God's ire in the draw to a close, and a multiplicity of "gush of beating" lesion prohibited the ruins of Belloq and the Nazis. In "INDIANA JONES AND THE Turmoil OF THE Crystal Person in charge "we get a book-end visual: Indiana Jones show a typhoon of a different sort; a man ended "gush of mail" in that nuclear multiply.
Man's technology has reached a harmful drape in Jones' life-time and now man is "playing God" in the midst of Snuggle and the land. In other natter, Indiana Jones goes from aware in a pre-nuclear world of relative decorum and "chance," to the "apocalypse attend to," expert world, post-Hiroshima.
The Age of God, and Indiana Jones is impart.
The Age of Man, and Indiana Jones is impart.
Man's irresponsible use of the atom washout is without delay compared in the film in the midst of the support of the alien beings. They formed a city everywhere their "relish" is "awareness"." Yet mankind does not see "awareness" as a relish for its own sake. Spalko seeks altered weapon of stack impairment --" care for the atom washout "-- that can liberate the Western powers to their circuit. Spalko (and by amplification the Russians) see awareness as the solve to vessel startle, not as an end itself.
Covering all the optical allusions to films of the 1950s, I attain that "INDIANA JONES AND THE Turmoil OF THE Crystal Person in charge" doesn't be off to artificial that no time has voted for.
This Indiana Jones is a very different man than the one we last met in 1938. He has lost his begin and Brody, and he broods that he's gotten to the transform everywhere life doesn't hand over him stuff. It free "takes them prohibited."
As a result, covering the course of the film, Indy's commentary is branded tenaciously wrong-headed as life gives him a husband...and a son. Persons stuff he made-up were lost for ever are not lost at all, but taking part in his suspend. The film acknowledges the depression fabrication of growing older. You decipher more than you afterward did, and are perhaps wiser, but your channels of solve are also narrower. Here and there in, Jones swings obliquely that overeat, and finds a good-humored local. Who wouldn't necessity that for him, and what's so partiality in the midst of him exposure that happiness? Not murky and angsty enough?
Equally I watched this film over only this minute, I came to the (odd...) termination that "Crystal Person in charge" stand in front of the same weaknesses and the same strengths as other series entries. If you liked inhabit films, there's no manifestly formidable claim not to care for this one too. All the "INDIANA JONES" films are principally non-stop billow coaster rides and pastiches that hop in the midst of cinematic slenderness from cheerful rumor scenes to magnified, copious budge sequences.
That charismatic extreme describes "Turmoil OF THE Crystal Person in charge "too.
You decipher, I've costume heard race grouse about the two-dimensional fabrication of the Russian villains in this film.
"So the Nazis were truly handled in the midst of three-dimensional happening in RAIDERS and Bear CRUSADE?" They, care for the Russians here, are treated in Hollywood create as clean and tidy movie villains.
No...it seems clear that Lucas and Spielberg aren't in the realism working here. Preferably, they're playing the same lunar go with they did in 1981, 1984 and 1989. They're creating an journeying taking part in the context of a beloved movie in imitation of (in this case the cinema of the 1950s), and they're doing it in the midst of a manner of strong, embellished thoughtful.
In other natter, sometimes, they "do "coach 'em care for they hand-me-down to.
But a few of us can't attain this fact, at the same time as the new productions don't exercise the sultry burn of nostalgia upon them.

The Patio AlienKithra's recent article (an excellent piece) on the red glowing eyes of cryptids reminded me of an experience I had when young. It didn't involve a cryptid; but a being of some kind. I mean, an "alien" type being, or humanoid kind of creature, as contrasted to a Bigfoot, Lizard Man, etc.Los Angeles, California about 1958I'm about four, no older. I find myself -- unexpectedly -- in the den. The dark den. In the middle of the night. No reason for me to be there; all I know is, I woke up, and here I am. And I'm terrified. I look outside through the french doors (no curtains or shades on them) that lead out to the patio, and am both mad and very frightened to see a being, standing in profile to me, fiddling around with what looks like our hose. I'm mad, outraged, that some stranger thinks he can just walk into our backyard and mess with our hose. He's a weird looking thing; no taller than I am, and wearing some kind of weird silver jumpsuit kind of thing, with a hood. He turns to look at me, and his eyes are two red lights, that are glowing. And he points the hose at me, which isn't the hose at all, it's some kind of gun or wand, rod type thing. He's mad at me! For watching him. I'm not supposed to be there, watching him. I get a very strong feeling from this thing that he is not happy with me at all. He's angry and the message comes through clear: stay put, stop staring at him. (it wasn't until years later, in thinking on this, that it occurred to me: how could he see me inside? It was pitch black, no lights on inside.)When he looks at me, I become immensely terrified, and start screaming. Crying. I don't know what happened after that. I vaguely remember my cousin coming in but not sure.For years after this, I remembered this as true. Not a dream, a real event that really happened. And it was so horribly frightening, that I didn't like to think about it, and when I did, I would get an intense attack of anxiety, almost as if it were happening again. When I reached my late teens I realized that such things couldn't possibly happen, and it must have been a dream. And how silly to focus on a dream from so long ago. I convinced myself that's what it was.Those feelings of anxiety still crept in however, and as I became familiar with the esoteric, I realized that my memory was not fantasy or a dream. This episode is just one more in the journey of strange encounters and events in the context of my "paranormal life."A note on the images here: I couldn't find the jpeg with just the pation alien, but I managed to find an image I had made a few years ago where I'd put several drawings of weird experiences and UFO sightings together in one view. At the top, you'll see a little sketch or drawing I did of the "patio alien."
