Are they out there???

Ok. I have been working on my final project in my gifted education class for like 3 days straight now and I need a break so since I haven't blogged all week, I thought I would provide you with a somewhat comical story about myself and my vivid imagination.

As many of you know, I am fascinated by conspiracy theories, unsolved historical mysteries, treasure hunts, and things which we just cannot explain. One such area is that of UFO's and aliens. Don't get me wrong, I don't live in a fantasy land and believe everything I hear/see on television, but I just enjoy contemplating the things which we cannot know for sure. I think it has something to do with my very active imagination. Anyway, there is a new show on the history channel called UFO Hunters. Essentially, this group of guys investigates sightings of UFO's and try to use scientific evidence to prove or disprove the existence of UFO's. I thoroughly enjoy the show and I make Jacob watch it with me even though he thinks I'm crazy. Not just because I watch the show but because of what happened a couple of months ago when I was coming back to Chicago from Virginia. It was late, and I was in the middle of a corn field in Indiana on Interstate 65 coming north. I was just driving along, listening to the radio when I noticed something above my car. It was this oval-shaped white light and as I looked up at it, it took off ahead of me extremely fast. Then is slowed down and I caught up to it, and it was once again over my car. In order to see it I had to kinda lean up and turn my heck in order to see out the top of my windshield. It once again sped off and it was at this point that my mind started racing and pictures of UFO's and thoughts of alien abductions over took my thoughts. All I could think was I need to get my cell phone to take a picture. Frantically, I was trying to locate my cell but it was dark in the car and I was trying to drive at the same time. The mysterious light continued the same pattern of speeding up and slowing down for another minute or so. I eventually gave up on trying to find the cell phone and just focused my attention on what I had convinced myself was an alien spacecraft. As I continued trucking up 65 however, something on the right side of the road caught my eye. It was a beam of light coming through the trees. Slowly my mind began putting the pieces together and a few seconds later I realized the the alien spacecraft was really just a circling spotlight. I had to laugh at myself, and I sure you are too. But seriously, what the heck is a circling spotlight doing in the middle of a cornfield??????

Well it's back to my project, more to come later!
