When this strange cloud showed up before sunrise, I knew some weather was on the way. Twelve hours later I was sitting out a wind storm in the Royce Lakes Basin, which had gusts of 60mph, so strong they bent the poles of my REI Chrysalis one man ultra lite tent. It shredded(and I mean shredded)my brother's and nephew's emergency tube tents. Good thing I brought plenty of duct tape. "L" Lake, John Muir Wilderness, Sierra Nevada, California, USA. August 2010.

| Arthur Digbee | UFOs | | 
Voted 10/10 | Never thought about it before, but I wonder if this isn't why most UFO sightings are out West.
What's upwind from Roswell? | | Posted Sep 8, 2010 1:29 pm |

Hasn't voted | more UFO's because they like warm days, cool nights, beef jerky and open country. | | Posted Sep 14, 2010 1:52 pm |

Voted 10/10 | "Woke up this morning with light in my eyes,
And then realized it was still dark outside.
It was a light coming down from the sky,
I don't know who or why..
Must be those strangers that come every night,
Those saucer-shaped lights put people uptight.
Leave blue-green footprints that glow in the dark;
I hope they get home all right." | | Posted Sep 8, 2010 3:40 pm |

Voted 10/10 | "Woke up this morning, I was feeling quite weird
Had flies in my beard, my toothpaste was smeared
Over my window, they'd written my name
Said, so long, we'll see you again."

Gotta envy the dude. He's probably got them

Wonder if he's checking out the babes.. | | Posted Sep 11, 2010 9:26 am |
