There’s a lot of strange things going on in our world and our governments keep many of these sinister goings on under wraps. Quote by poet. At the edge of our town was a heavily guarded building, and was rumoured that it was an offshoot of area 51, You could easily drive past it because it was surrounded by tall poplar trees. Old wives's tales I thought until one hot June night last year. I was driving home after visiting a friend and it had just turned midnight then my car spluttered to a halt," Damn" I said, I was out of gas, it was all I needed. I got out of the car and started walking, there was a full moon, so it was bright and it was about a half hour walk home; I heard a noise and to my right was a tall dark humanoid creature moving by the tree-line . Then above I noticed a greenish white vapour trail. I quickened my pace then heard gunfire and heard what sounded like an air raid siren, I was seized with terror and started running as fast as I could. In the distance I saw lights coming towards me. Three big army trucks passed me, heading for the building I thought, I reached town and headed for the police station to report what I'd seen. Sergeant Smith whom I knew was on duty, I started to tell him my story." Stop right there” he said, "If I log this, it won’t end well believe me”.

There's been an enormous number of reports of ufo sightings. It's an ongoing debate that should be exposed. Hidden from the world are many things that 'authorities' feel would cause a panic. What's worse than the state of the world as it is now? IF there are other inhabited worlds, capable of doing us harm they would've made their presence known that could not be denied. Theory: we have nothing they want except maybe as entertainment as to how ignorant some can be.

Thank you Anne Lise, there’s a lot going on that we are never told about, lots of things shrouded in secrecy. Enjoy your day ahead. Tom
