NDA keeps me from telling some fun ones online.

A very beautiful Asian gal comes over to my table and asks in flawless German , with a Berlin accent no less , what I want to order.
I saw something exactly like that in '66 or '67. I was 11-12 years old walking home on a rural road with no street lights when this thing passed over me. Lights all over it, some blinking, completely silent and was blotting out a huge portion of the sky. I ran home terrified and told everybody I'd seen a UFO and took quite a bit of ribbing about it. Next day the paper and the evening news said that it was a stage of one of the Apollo rockets, headed for splash down in the Pacific. Not as weird as a UFO but it was still pretty cool to have seen something like that.I saw a real live UFO once.
Yep, I was sober and I am convinced there is no rational explanation.
I had stepped outside my house late one night, 2AM? (about 25 years ago) in Twin Falls Idaho. This thing rolled over the top of the house, literally. Kind of long football shape spinning on its long axis. It was huge, like a mile long and low. I could clearly see individual lights and the surface of the thing. It was completely silent, took maybe 20 seconds to pass over. When it was directly over me it took up most of the sky.
This was not like some far off light that "could" be something. It was right there, you could see it, see details.
There is no sensible, rational explanation for it. Something I would never believe if I had not been standing under it. I have never heard of anything else described similarly.
I dont know what it was, but it defiantly freaked me out. Ive watched the sky pretty close ever sense and never seen anything "unexplained"
Not something I talk about because it just sounds nuts, but it really happened.
You could have picked my jaw off the table. I had been homeschooling my son, and we LOVED the Little Britches series. This series for boys, is exactly what the "Little House on the Prairie" series is for girls, when you are homeschooling. Old John telling me he was a friend of Ralph Moody, when John was a kid, was like telling me he knew Laura Ingalls Wilder, who wrote "Little House".
He was very happy when I ordered him the full series off Amazon.
BTW, this series is highly recommended, even for adults. Gives a nice flavor of America back in the early 1900's. Can you imagine a people too ashamed to take private charity, never mind a government entitlement?
I had a old cowboy for a neighbor in Wyoming who had a lot of amazing stories to tell. I'd go over there and chew the fat over breakfast and coffee. Anyway one day he told me that he was looking for a series of books that he knew about, but no matter what bookstore he went in he could never find any. He said he used to know the author, back in Colorado.
I said why don't you search the Internet. He had just gotten a laptop, his first, but he had no clue. He wasn't even familiar with keyboards or typewriters. Watching him "hunt and peck" was waiting 10 or 15 seconds for each character. He may have been unfamiliar with that, but he was renowned for his knowledge of things like long-horn cattle and ranching generally. For him going out to kill an elk was no big deal. But he wasn't much on computers, so in never occurred to him to search the internet. Search engine, what's that?
Anyway he told me his friend, the author's name, Ralph Moody. And the books were the "Little Britches" series:
