I’m not crazy, true story!
Bright saucer zooms down one night in July
I didn’t know whether to run or just cry
All our neighbors at once stood in awe
Of what we witnessed, not believing – but surely saw
We were informed when Dad burst in from work
Urging us to see what he saw first
As if the thing followed on his way home
I can only wonder how he felt being alone
We saw it come straight down from the sky…stopping to hover in mid-air
But as quick as lightening, it was no longer there
Looking left, we heard it humming right over our cove
Big, bright, menacing, and frighteningly bold
With a noise, it changed from disk to four smaller orbs
Red, yellow, blue, green, unanimously alternating and more
No one on the cove said a word as if in a trance like state
In the blink of an eye, another change… the four glowing balls were now eight
Unable to describe unprecedented sounds that these blinking orbs made
Changing colors and formations intermittently, they put on quite a display
Some of us began to chatter and point at the situation at hand
Just before the eight orbs in a second became the disk again
Hovering once more for a bit, and beaming in all of its might
It’s flash could be seen and heard, vertically zooming up into the night
That very night on the news, the reporter had the nerve to put out
A statement saying that it was just a weather balloon, and there was nothing to worry about
School the next day was a blast, we all gave our own personal views
On what we had seen the night before, while laughing at the guy on the news
I shall never forget that night…that scene is forever etched in my mind
The scenario was a tad bit much…I was only eight years old at the time
I have heard many stories like mine…some with even more to say
Could I too have been abducted…explaining my unusual ways?
