"I saw a UFO!!"


Yes, I really saw a UFO flying in the sky the other evening!

I was driving my car down the neighborhood street when I was it in the evening sky, round with lights all around it and sort of going back and forth slowly, it seemed way up in the sky.

The weird thing was that even though I was excited and nervous to see something like this for the very first time, I wasn't really scared or had that "the creeps" type feeling, which surprised me because I figured a UFO would send chills down my spine if I ever saw one. I tried to take some photos with my cell phone, but I couldn't aim the camera right.

But then the UFO suddenly droped quickly, and I realized that it was not as large as I first thought, in fact, it seemed to be hoovering close by over an area that I estimated was the High School baseball field about a block away. So I got back into my car and drove there quick.

Just in time I saw the shaddow of a guy on the field with one of those antena boxes that runs romote control airplanes and I realized that the "UFO" was a new type of toy airplane. I was laughing at myself for thinking it was a real UFO, and there were some other people who drove up to place at the same time to get a look.

The guy in the field caught his "UFO" plane and I saw that it was probably only about 3 feet across!!

I've now done a search on the internet and see that a bunch of differnt flying UFO's are for sale.
(here's one that's not exactly the same, but similiar:

Moral of the story: IF you don't get a really creepy feeling watching the "UFO" then it might just be a hoax, and somebody nearby is flying his toy airplane.
