Scrap Metal Flying Saucer
by Michael
To this day, sometimes when I think about it, I wonder If I dreamed it or if it really happened.
This was around 1984. My friend J.R. and I were drinking behind the church. I remember it was noon, the day was hot. We were sitting in my truck parked under a tree, kicking back and listening to music. We started looking at a pile of scrap metal on the other side of the road, when we noticed pieces of metal at the top were starting to move, like something was trying to dig its way out! A wind out of nowhere started blowing and kicking up dust. We rolled up the windows. We kept looking at the pile, metal was still being moved around.
Then we saw it! It emerged from the scrap. It was a shiny, silver, spinning object about the size of a trash can lid. I couldn't believe it! It hovered there for a couple of minutes. The wind was blowing hard. My friend and I were watching this without saying too much to each other. The object in a way was beautiful to look at. You could see a slight sade of blue at the top and the surface was highly polished. Reflecting the sun right in your eye. As we watched, the object slowly began to ascend straight up! It picked up speed and just like that it was gone! Straight up, until we couldn't see it anymore. The wind stopped blowing.
It wasn't a dream because J.R. saw it too! Through the years we'll bring it up once in a while and talk about it. Unless you've been confronted by the strange and unusual it's hard to describe the feeling that comes over you. Like this can't be, this is impossible but there it is in front of you. It turns your whole world and beliefs upside down! You don't know whether to say," Oh wow!" or just laugh.
