Last Saturday night, Val and I went to spend a few hours at Ft. DeSoto campground barbecuing some burgers and dogs and looking for UFOs, once it got dark for National UFO Night Out (NUNO). It rained to postpone the cook out which calmed the nasty bite-y bugs for a little while so we could cook out with a nice breeze. We saw a clan of trash pandas that were hanging out in the trees above. They came down and Val got a pic of this one while it was trying to do it's bidness. It turned and gave her this look as it was finishing up as if to say "Human, how dare you? We don't bother you when you're out in the wild taking a crap!" No, and to be fair they didn't bother us while we were cooking out. But this will forever be my go-to image when I want to give somebody shit on social media. It's already my Twitter cover. Facebook will be next if they don't ban me for it, since they ban everything these days.
Oh, the UFO night. After we ate, the stars came out and we did see a UFO! Val spotted it. It didn't fly very fast but fast enough. It was kind of flying straight-ish, but there were several off-things about it that made me know it was a UFO instead of a plane.
There are other things that kind of lead me to believe this was no plane. It was just a gut thing. Kind of like I kind of knew I would see the orb. Kind of like the ones I thought weren't UFOs maybe weren't really. No matter how much I longed for that triangle thing I saw wayyyyy up in the sky in the 90s in St. Pete to be a UFO, the fact remains that it was most likely a Stealth bomber...since we're so close to MacDill Air Force Base. It didn't give me the same gut feeling or the same excitement or sense of awe and wonder. Nothing but a gen-u-wine UFO does that for me. I get chills. The hairs on my body stand up. I tingle. I have not filed the case to MUFON or NUFORC (Are they still around? Website has not been updated since May FFS!) yet, along with my summer of 1981 encounter. I'm still getting my stories sorted on paper. But I will definitely make the recent report soon. There's no video as I couldn't get my night scope's video turned on in time and the video that Val took on her phone is kind of short and not focused really well. But we'll have better luck next time. National UFO Night Out has decided to make their events monthly, but we think we're going to wait until it gets to be non-mosquito season...or at least until our bites heal up! We do have a trip planned to go see Bok Tower and Spook Hill, two sites of purported high magnetic energy and in the area of a supposed energy vortex: Lake Wales. We're going in October so we hope it will be cool enough outside to sit and partake of the night skies a bit. Lake Wales is an area that sees a bit of action, so who knows what will happen!
