Beautiful, Strange UFO... or Angel
by Lewis Luprano
This is a true story about the most beautiful thing I ever saw! It happened around the early 1980s in Mariposa, California. It was a Saturday morning and I had to work that day. The air was nice and fresh. It had rained the night before. Along with a deep blue sky, there were some scattered cumulus clouds.
I was heading out to my car in the back parking lot of the apartment complex where I lived when I noticed someone kneeling next to my car. This person saw me and quickly stood up holding a crowbar. He was nervous and surprised to see me. He was a youngster up to no good! It didn't hit me at first as to what he was doing. I was thinking, like, who is this guy? When I looked through the passenger window of my car, I saw the steering wheel column had been stripped of its cover. When I saw that, it dawned on me: this guy is trying to steal my car! I asked him what the hell he was doing. He gave me a lame story about his friend's car being stolen last night and that my car looked like his friend's and so on. I didn't want to hear it. I told him I was going to call the police, which I did on my cell phone. I dialed 911 and told the dispatcher what happened and gave her the address.
I told the would-be thief the police were on their way and for him not to leave. He said he would wait for the police... Yeah, right. I could tell he was getting ready to make a run for it, and if he did I wasn't going to try to stop him because his adrenaline was pumping and he had that crowbar.
While I was asking him some questions, trying to detain him, I began looking at three big clouds in single-file formation that were almost overhead. Something out of the corner of my eye caught my attention... a flash. Then I saw it, a shiny object exiting from the first cloud and entering the next and then coming out of that one. It was shiny, like brightly polished chrome and moving at a good speed. I couldn't make out the shape.
By this time, I was so distracted by what I was seeing that the punk saw his chance and took off. That's when the flying object entered the last cloud. From there it was nothing but open sky. When it emerged, my life changed.
There against the richness of the blue sky and the clouds serving as a backdrop was a silvery shape that seemed to have arms and legs! It was so beautiful to look at. At the same time, it had the appearance of metal. It looked like some kind of ship with a strange design. The best way I can describe it is it looked like silverware in the design of the stick man children draw. It was huge, moving fast and made no noise.
As it sailed overhead, some of the limbs would move up and down, giving the impression of being alive -- a living entity! It made a couple of rolls, reflecting the sun in every direction -- just beautiful...oh my god, BEAUTIFUL! As it started to fade away from my view, I found myself short of breath and with tears running down my cheeks. It had that much of an effect on me. I began thinking maybe that's what an angel looks like. Maybe not!
