Hi, I can't believe it finally happened to me. It was frightening at first but I learned a long time ago that if you don't keep your cool, things can get much worse then they already are. In a hurry too!
Maybe I should start with a little background to my story first, while I explain what just happened to me.
I haven't been writing on my Blog on the weekends anymore because my grandson comes over now and stays with me from Friday to Sunday evening. We decided to go for a walks together on each Saturday and Sunday morning when he is here. It has been going on for awhile now and it has been a big help to me physically because I can feel the difference. We've been walking two and a half miles per day!
So today, Monday, I decided I was going to extend my two and a half miles to something like three or four. Depending on how I felt.
I live in Southern California so going a mile and a half to two miles away from my home brings me up a mountainside and past the dried up riverbed, where water only flows when it rains.
No housing can be built up there since it's sacred tribal land of the Pechanga Indians. But they don't seem to mind a hiker or two walking about.
I walk in the early mornings, if you can call 7am early. Before seven, people with kids and jobs are bustling about to get here and there. Dropping off children and rushing off to beat the punch clock. So it gives people like me the freedom to go roundabout with a quit anonymity. To go where we like with no hassles.
It's relaxing because there is no traffic to worry about, the neighborhood kids are all in school or daycare, and there is a sense of peace which you can only find at this time of day.
It felt so good I planned on walking up to four miles today.
I was at the two mile mark and was going to turn around when I saw, coming over the top ridge of the mountain, two glowing white pulsating round spheres. They were the size of those exercise balls people use to workout with at the gym.
They immediately seemed to be intelligent because they paused as soon as they saw me. I couldn't tell the difference from the front to the sides of the spheres, but they slowly turned to one another and started pulsating rhythmically, as if communicating with each other.
Then, before I could blink twice, the spheres came shooting towards me at lightening speed, surrounding me by going around me in circles.
I was frozen in place.
I was frozen, not by anything the spheres did to me, but by my own fear.
The spheres started pulsating again as they circled me. Thankfully, there were no aggressive movements towards me, but I couldn't help wondering what they might be saying to one another.
Once again they moved in less than a blink. This time they lined up in front of me one on top of the other with the upper sphere slightly behind the bottom sphere. It reminded me of soldiers from the American Revolution. How the front row of men would kneel down while aiming their guns at the enemy and the second row stood up behind them aiming theirs.
Were they sizing up the situation before they fired?
The pulsating started anew. I was so scared. Unconsciously I reached for the plug at the end of my earbuds connecting to my phone and pulled. The music started blaring as loud as a blaring cell phone can and the lower sphere came up close to me. Its light started flickering to the beat of the music. The other sphere then came closer to me and did the same. A small latch on that sphere opened up on the front of it and I saw blue, green, and red lights. I thought I was going to split a gut when it started to talk to me through those lights. It said, "I like that song. What's the name of it?"
Stunned I replied, "Dancing Queen by Abba."
"I love those guys," the other sphere said. "Sorry, we have to go."
And with three blinks of an eye, they were past the clouds in the sky. Out of sight.
I'll never forget today and I will be walking up the same side of the mountain from now on. I'll have my phone playing music as I go along. Hopefully these unidentified flying spheres will enjoy a little Ed Sheeran or Beatles and not just disco.
Wouldn't it be weird if the whole Galaxy was into Disco and Synth Pop?
This is,
I'm Telling The Whole Truth
And Nothing But The Truth
Jim Hauenstein,
And,
“Disco sucks? You never heard that from me.”

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
