There, under the soft luminescence of the Milky Way, I wondered what the coming days would bring. With this thought, I saw two stars detach from the night just above the darkened skyline. Shining magnifi cently, these two silent UFOs shot forward from the distance speeding directly towards me. I stood up out of my chair as they stopped very close, just above the veranda and I then watched them make a sudden shift of direction as they hurled themselves upwards into the sky.
