Yeah, but I'll bet the _second look_ at it got you going!
I have recorded stray party balloons and they tumble around
blown this way and that by any prevailing winds. This thing
hovered, and then took off with purpose! It moves in that
weird skipping motion I described in last years sighting.
Tom King tells me that he and the boys estimate it's moving
at several hundred miles per hour as it goes over my house!
A balloon would have to be caught in a jet stream to move that
fast!

You bet! Upon blowing it up, the classic 'Hockey Puck' shape
shows up! I only wish we all had digital cameras and equipment,
the resolution on my dinosaur of a videocam is not as good as
it could be. We're getting 'photo ops' we should be recording
this stuff with state of the art cameras. A patron or sponsor
would be a Godsend for us right about now!

Please! And for the list as well Errol, I'm sure some folks are
itching to check em out.

Try standing underneath them as they buzz around doing tricks
over your head! The closest I can come to describing it is a
childlike state of empty headed wonder and elation. They don't
frighten me. My feeling is that they are there to be photographed
and they must get pretty frustrated up there wondering when the
dummy is going to stop gawking and get the camera so they can
get out of there! <G>

Same drill as last time, as soon as it's in my hands it'll be
posted.
>Thanks for the dub, John.
You are very welcome, and thank you for taking time out of what
I know is a very busy schedule to review it and verify it's
existence for the list members. You're the best!

You ain't kidding! Wait till they're over Toronto! Then we can sing
Johnny's tune together! After a while we may end up with more singers
than the Vienna Boys Choir! <G> Hee-Haw
I have to make up a big sign for the aliens for next time with Phillip
Klass' photo and address on it! If ever there was a white man in need
of an alien rectal probe,...although I wouldn't want to see his keester
get 'cored' like they do with livestock. I hope for the old guys sake
that they don't get confused. <G>
