Something russles in the tree between the neighbors house and mine. Then I begin to reflect about what happened earlier.
A few after seven o'clock we decide to take Steve the backway to his house through Seaside and Fort Ord. The sun had not quite set. A blaze of orange barely hinted itself through the sky. I look back after having asked Andrew to look over in the empty field at the top of broadway. Hovering 25 feet or so off the ground and up to fifty feet away was a band of lights blinking in a circle. the circle was slanted as it hovered. It did not look there was anything else in between the circle of light except that when the last rays of sunlight hit it a gleam bounced off the side. There was not one other sound at all except for Steven talking here and there. Andrew slows down and looks at it. We both ask the other, "do you see that?"
I said, "a plane or something right?"
He replys, "or something".
So I ask Steve "Do you see that plane?"
"Where?" Steve asks. When Andrew points he still does not see it.
Andrew continued looking.... "it landed." He said flatly.
"I still don't see the plane." Steve grumbles.
The stars look so much more magnificent. I could see patches of space that are lighter than other parts. Farther away moons circling planets even them all circling stars gets so much faster. Lately I have been wondering what I green star or planet would be like. Anyhow I found Leo, Orion and Mars. Then I realized that the tapping sound was getting louder and faster. It sounded like water almost frozen dripping on a pan with a buzz either behind it or replacing the tapping sound entirely. The tapping came in intervals.
Sufficiently finished with reading the stars for now I got up from the computer and went to try to get Andrew to come outside, with no avail.
