About 40 years ago I saw a flying saucer. Well, sort of.
The radio was reporting something flying over Vancouver. It was moving very fast and making sudden turns. It had windows with flashing lights of different colors.
Then the guy renting the upstairs from my parents yelled that he could see it. Of course, I ran up about 5 stairs at a time to see.
For the next 4 or 5 minutes I stood shoulder to shoulder with him. He was hoping up and down and pointing at it. It was moving fast, changing direction and had flashing lights. It was
exactly as described on the radio. At least that is what he was telling me.
I looked at the dark night sky with clouds from a passing storm scuttling quickly across the sky. I could not see it at all.
Over and over he pointed; I looked down his arm to where he was pointing. No flying saucer.
Then finally, finally I asked if he meant the light that was just above such and such a roof top. Yes! YES! he yells.
Venus sat there in the night sky, not moving at all as the clouds whisked by giving an impression of it moving. It glittered a little in the sky with the wind and clouds.
You can give me as much eye-witness testimony as you want. It will not budge me an inch.
