US Congressional Hearing Confirms UFOs Are Real But Everything is Fine

How is this not the story of the century?

Some years back, a reliable, skeptical, friend saw an unidentified flying object near Toronto. In his own words:

‘While doing a fieId-call with a colleague we pulled up to a stop sign at a T-intersection on the outskirts of the city. In front of me was a farm and I could see a large black box-like object hovering above a field behind and to the right of a barn. It was hard to gauge size because we couldn’t tell how far away it was.

We turned left from the stop sign which moved the object from being directly in front of us, to being on our right. As we drove forward the barn obscured our view of the object. I continued to look for it as my friend drove, but as we continued past the point where it should have become visible again (i.e. clear of the barn), it became obvious that the object was no longer there.

Although my colleague was driving, he also saw exactly the same thing and was likewise without any reasonable (i.e. non-X Files) explanation.”

No cattle mutilation or anal probing, but an intriguing story nevertheless. When he first told me, I asked what he thought it might have been. “I don’t know. Something normal, I guess.”
