Full Description & Details

You know how, in the old original space ghost cartoons, he had a plane that would go "invisible" and the cartoonist would show this by drawing light white outlines around it and leaving everything else transparent? This was like that, as if the edges were bending the light just enough that we could see a huge triangular shape. It made no noise, like a blimp. But transparent. And much bigger than a blimp, and flying surprisingly low. I really didn't believe what I was seeing, as we were in boring Springfield, Missouri, so I asked my girlfriend, "Uh..did you...see that?" and immediately she said, "Yeah, what the hell was that?!" And we both described the same thing. Mind you we aren't the cousin-kissin' kind of Ozarkers you probably imagine, but more like the Dostoyevsky-reading, grad student kind, I'm an atheist and very skeptical when it comes to the supernatural. But just as you shouldn't blindly believe in any old fairy tale, the same should be said in the opposite: Don't be close-minded about phenomena that might seem straight out of a fairy tale because, as any physicist will tell you, the world is much, much stranger than we think.
