宇宙人の話!My close encounter!

Writer: StephenStephen


Hey Mason, happy Thursday! My close encounter!

Aliens! Good question. Actually, I've never seen the TicTok video, heard about it. I remember growing up, there was a TV show on called "Project Blue Book". And, it was about two Air Force officers who investigated UFO sightings. And I thought that was one of the coolest shows! I used to go out at night and find a nice park or open field and wait for aliens to come and pick me up. Yeah! Never happened, but I would wait all the same. Where are you? I'm here. Hello!

So there are a couple things about aliens. First, I truly think they exist. It's unimaginable that we are the only life in the universe. To me that's inconceivable, it must be somewhere else. Whether it's an older civilization, a younger civilization, something we can identify with or not, I don't know. Second thing, so many people feel aliens will be bad, or evil, or try to conquer us. And I think that's just because it's impossible to sell a movie about friendly aliens. Maybe ET or Cocoon. Nobody wants to learn about aliens coming to help us grow food or solve world hunger. They wanna see a fight! They wanna see US conquer! Also, I was followed by aliens once. I actually had an alien experience. Yeah, let me tell ya about that. Ok.

I was on a road trip from Cleveland, Ohio, which is right here. And, the destination was LA, right here. And, our route, it took us through many, many different states. We made a very circuitous route. But, through this area, the Oklahoma Panhandle, through here, I was followed by aliens.

And, it happened in my car, that's why I'm in my car right now. Of course a different car, right, this was along time ago.

I was driving along, it was night, it was late, we'd been driving for quite a while. And, just driving along minding my own business, enjoying things, groovin' to the music. And, in the rearview mirror, I see two bright lights. Ok, somebody's got their high beams on. And then, all of a sudden, one of the lights, one of them disappeared. Huh? And next thing I know, my car is shaking! WHOA! What's that? That was crazy! And then, in the rearview mirror, two lights again appear! Huh, ok. Driving along. And again, one disappears, and a moment later, the whole car shakes! Wha-wha-wha-whaaat! This happened for about a half hour. I was a little freaked out, let me tell ya. And then I thought, Why didn't they stop! So, yeah.

I know this really happened because I've met a number of people, who were either from or lived in that area of the panhandle, and had the exact same experience. And before I even described it to them, they were describing it to me. So, I know it's not an isolated experience, or hallucination, or imagination. So there you have it, my alien experience.

This talk about aliens got me thinking about exercise. And how maybe we could make an app, or I can make an app, or you can make an app, someone can make an app. And it was a jogging app. And you'd be listening to music, and all of a sudden the aliens would come, and you'd have to run really, really fast. It's kinda like a HIIT training exercise. And then I thought, oh wait, Mason likes to jog. And I'm thinking, "why?" Cause I hate jogging! God I hate it, I hate it, I just hate jogging so much. But you like it. And so, why? Why do you like jogging? And maybe, why do you jog? Alright man, I'll see you next week. Alright, peace!
