4th of July Fireworks & Aliens!!!

[Dathu]

For those who don't want to read the story, this thread is about whether you think Aliens are likely, visit earth, and what they look like.

So my exgirlfriend calls me out of no where. Turns out, her boyfriend is sick and she can't get anyone to go see her town's firework show with her. I agree and we go. While laying on a blanket in the grass next to dozens of other people, waiting to see the fireworks, I see a shooting star. She'd never seen one before so I explain the the big flash was probably a small explosion caused by the heat from entering the atmosphere. I pointed out that the tail was lengthening which meant it was breaking up.

But then it stopped. As in 'froze in the air'.

We both got quiet. It then began to change course, rather sharply, left, down, right, down, etc. I commented "Well, shooting stars don't change course. Planes can't make sharp turns, nor speed up and slow down instantly." Another long pause. So I said "You know what that is don't you?"

"NO, no that's not it! It's a satellite!"

"It's not that dark. We shouldn't be able to see a satellite at this hour. And since when do satellites enter the atmosphere?" We argued for a bit, until numerous people around us noticed it too. It was quite the talk for a long time, but the one thing we all agreed on was that it stopped moving once the fireworks began.

So this year I got to spend my 4th of July with some unexpected friends. I'm not 100% sure of what it was, but lets put it this way, I wouldn't be surprised if it was, and I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't.

Aliens, satellites, or someone spiked our drinks with acid?

Ooh. Aliens. Always fun.
Ooh. Ex-Girlfriends. Not so fun.
Ooh. Fireworks. Sometimes repetative, usually fun.

Maybe the alien in the ship was sitting on a blanket with his ex-girlfriend, waiting for the show to begin.

That's what we joked about. We said it was a family coming to see the fireworks, but they were fighting over where the best spot was, hense the sharp turns.

Neato... maybe her b-boy got jealous and sent a group of aliens to atack you and then they saw the fire works and wanted to watch. Then forgot why they came their for and left?

Where do you live? I hear their are many alien siteings in mexico and the lower states. I so believe in UFOs!

I live in an Indiana suburb of Chicago. We're not too far from a big air port so there are always lots of moving lights in the sky. This was the first time I saw something that....unexplainable. But, as I said, I wouldn't be surprised either way. I don't doubt there's life out there, inteligent or not, but whether or not they'd come here I'm not so sure about.

I could just see that:

Alien Mother- Pull over here, Oslemufn!
Alien Father- We'll be able to see better over there.
Alien Mother- Are you sure we're even in the right place? Why don't we pull over and ask one of those nice earthlings for directions?
Alien Father- I know where I'm going, Slidklgorp!
Alien Mother- Yeah, that's what you said when we were over in Italy! Remember what happened then?
Alien Father- I tell you that tower came out of nowhere!

Alien Mother- No one really misses Atlantas anyway...

Ooooooh no! There was none of that! And if there was, I'd be giving it just as much as I'd be taking it.


Uh...yeah!  

[Grand Moff Locket]

Alien Mother- And besides, I'm not the one who crashed and threw of the entire planet's climate!
Alien Father- It was just a little ice age!
