Visitors, The Night They Came

Okay, I'm not sure where to post this, but I just needed to share what happened. I was sitting at my computer playing, here of course, when I heard this low rumbling sound outside. I could feel it too. The whole house vibrated. I thought maybe there was a train stuck on the tracks. That happens a lot around here. Or maybe a distant thunderstorm. I don't know, but this seemed somehow different. So I decided to go outside and check it out.

When I went outside, I didn't see a train anywhere in sight. I did see something above our house though. Not a thunderstorm. It was huge! Probably about as large as six times the size of our house. It was round and had dimly glowing lights all around the bottom. I couldn't see the sides or how tall it was. It just hovered over our house and the railroad track field. I thought about running back inside the house but I just stood there watching it, when all of a sudden a very bright beam of light shot out of the bottom of the craft or ship or whatever it was. The light beam landed in the field and a man materialized. He walked a little ways toward me and then stopped. He beckoned me with his hands to come to him. I felt a little apprehensive and thought again about running back into my house, but I just stood there staring. He didn't seem to be acting aggressive or anything, so I decided to go to him.

He was about a foot or so taller than my dad who was five foot six. Or maybe he was closer to seven foot? Anyway, he had long, white hair that was straight, not wavy like mine or curly. He was slim built, but not skinny. I was guessing maybe Swedish, Norwegian, or some other Scandinavian/Northern country. When I got up to him, he smiled at me and started talking but I didn't understand what he was saying. Wherever he's from, all I could think of was what great technology these guys have. Nothing like we have in our country! Pretty cool! I hope they share their inventions with the rest of the world!

Anyway, after a while of listening to him telling me whatever it was he was trying to convey, another beam of light shot out from the bottom of their craft or ship or whatever it is. Another man appeared only this guy was shorter. Not by much though, he was probably a little over six feet tall. But he also had long white hair. And I think their eyes were either blue or hazel. Hard to tell because it's night time. So this other guy came up to the first one and said something in their native language. He pretty much ignored me but he did smile and give me a nod while he said a couple of words to me. The first guy turned back to me and smiled again and put his hand out like he wanted to shake my hand. So I figured that meant he was leaving. I put my hand out to shake a farewell and he took my hand and pulled me toward him, saying something. And next thing I knew he was hugging me. I'm not usually a huggy person but I felt I should be polite and hug him back. Then he stepped back a bit and put his hands on my shoulders and leaned in towards my face and said something. I wish I knew what he was saying! He seemed kind and sincere, so I just smiled back and nodded. I don't know what I was nodding to but I just felt compelled I guess. Anyway, he turned and left with the other man. They walked a little ways and then disappeared into two bright, thin streams of light that shot straight up into the bottom of their craft.
