    Atheist and skeptic, so I can’t jump to conclusions, but I watched a sphere of light move alongside me in my car while I was driving next to the Willamette river in West Salem, Oregon. It moved and stopped with more precision than I’ve ever seen from a drone and stayed about 50-some feet in the air above the river. I moved my head around consistently to ensure it wasn’t a reflection on my windshield. My friend had told me about his “alien experience” that sounded shockingly the same, also in West Salem, but a good year before this. He claims to have seen multiple and was just standing outside for a cigarette.

      You saw an orb! That’s a classic sighting that lots of people see. I believe you! I wonder what they’re about?

            The plans were in the basement of the civic center on Alpha Centauri. That’s on you if you didn’t check.

              But you found them didn’t you?

              Yes, it was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying “Beware of the Leopard”

                I personally think it was part of the “Bone a Drone” movement that was used to collect samples of human DNA in order to synthesize fake human beings that would potentially make it into statures of power in order to create a new world order.

                I don’t really, but that’s a much more compelling story than, “late stage Capitalism sucks for almost everyone involved”.

        They can be certain burning gasses, lights in the distance and such. Depends on the are and weather sometimes.

      Some relative of mine told me a very similar story once. He says a few other people have experienced the same in this particular spot, here in my city. I wonder what it is…

        It was a good sustained 15 to 20 seconds, and the lumen it projected didn’t really fluctuate. It was more in the yellow than white spectrum as well. Makes sense for my initial description, but it doesn’t make sense for the Willamette Valley, the color, and pattern of movement. Not that I have a better explanation, but I’ve spent my whole professional life as a food QA auditor and lab tech, so I’m used to just reporting things I’ve seen and not reading into them.

          It was the spirit of Homer Davenport. Rejoice and have another slice of marionberry pie.
