In India I used to watch a certain star...a large star! I knew it wasn't what it appeared to be. One morning, about five o'clock, I looked up and it was gone. Stars don't just pick up and go, unless they explode. So, for the next few mornings I made it a point to watch that part of the sky. Sure enough one morning it was back. Not only was it back, but as I watched, suddenly from all four corners of it tiny sparks shot out going in different directions. Scout ships?
What else! I believe the star was a mother ship, and if that sounds ridiculous then maybe I am being ridiculous. But that is what I observed in the sky over India. It was not the first phenomena of that nature that I have encountered. Most of what I have seen happened right here in Alberta.
But they are stories for another time.
