EPISODE 432 STRANGE LIGHTS IN THE MIDNIGHT SKYalan skeochsept. 2021Not quite dark enough yet…and looking south where lights can be explained…civilization.Turning around and looking Northwest, we did once see strange lights above the horizon where no lights should be.
LIGHTS THAT COULD NOT EXPLAINED IN THE MIDNIGHT SKY
“When it gets really dark, let’s stroll the beach and look for those strange lights in the midnight sky.”‘Sounds a bit wacko”“You saw them a couple of years ago, did you not?”“I did…but there must be an explanation other than alien spacecraft.”“But lights out there in the empty vastness of Georgian Bay…in the midnight sky…wherenothing exists in daylight…how is that explained?”“Some screwball out there with a flashlight.”“More than one light,remember…and well above the horizon”“A screwball with friends in helicopters”“Alan, sometimes you can be irritating.”“OK, Penny, I did see those strange lights.”“And other people have seen them…remember the person we interviewed…shetook the lights for granted as normal at night.”“Let’s just go for a midnight walk in on the beach and keepour eyes focused northwest.”“No lights out there tonight.”“Are there really strange things seen in the sky?”“President Jo Biden promises to release UFO sightings recorded by pilots andlisted as unexplainable….doing it right nw, this year.”“Maybe we can invite Biden to visit Concession 12 for coffee ad a stroll alongthe beach.”“Nope”“Why not?”“American border is crossed only with caution due to Pandemic…the virus…Joe just cannot pop up here.”Footnote: UFO sightings can usually be explained as natural phenomena. One of thelatest explanations is that drones or sophisticated weather balloons can account for manysightings. Hallucinations also may be factors. We love to dabble in the unknownand then hook explanations to what we do not know or understand. Best to keepour feet on the ground but our minds open. In our case we have had a lot offun speculating. Keep it that way. The Internet is loaded with conspiracy theoriesso be careful.A LITTLE BIT OF MYSTERY PUTS SPICE IN OUR COFFEE CUPS
Well, no sightings that night … but a lot of conversation about the night sky and the universe
and the limitations of our human species. Years ago I asked my Grade Ten class to predict what the
world would be like 50 years from 1999. The results were fascinating. One boy, however, wrote
a comment that was very sobering. “Fifty years from now, sir, we will have explored our solar system
and beyond using technology unknown today…and we will discover that we are in fact alone.”
Alone! Likely so…but then again do not shut the door completely
Alone! If true, then we damn well better take care of our planet. It is a jewel in the cosmos.
