I'm THE AIR FORCE"
BY elaine townsend Diekerson

there was a bright star and from
this star to the ground this thing"
seemed to stretch. AS Ruth told me
the story you could see she still
felt queasy about reliving it. She
said by this time it had turned in
to a vivid greenish-blue. 1t was ma
mouth. At the extreme top of it
there was redness and at the bot
tom, but the long fuselage-shaped
phenomenon was this eerie blueish
green. At this point Ruth felt the
object was so big, and seemed
right upon her and about to de-
scend in her yard that she scream
ed loud, horrifying. piercing cry.
The noise frightened her husband
from a sound sleep and he knew
Ruth must be in terrible danger.
When he reached her he had his
loaded shot gun in hand. There
Ruth stood at the back door still
frozen in the spot where she had
witnessed the horrifying spectacle.
Neither of them slept that night.
Henry had indigestion from the
episode, and as you might suppose
Ruth reliyed it all over and over
again. Early in the morning Ruth
hied herself out in the yard to see
If there might be some trace of the
unusual event. Surely there would
have to be something there. There
wasn't.
You have read reports where
people here talk to little green
men. Lots of accounts make you
feel those who are interviewed
might have some open space be-
tween their ears. This is why Ruth
and Henry wanted to keep this ac-
count TO themselves and not be in
terviewed by the press and per-
maps the authorities That's why
I'm keeping their identity hidden
Ruth has tried to push the whole
experience out of her mind; it up
set her so in the beginning. And
yet it was something so vivid, she
can't
They watched and scanned the
newspapers the following day to
see if anyone else had witnessed
like experience. A state policemen
had followed Something around
one in the morning. The thing
eluded him eventually, but he did
follow it for many miles.
I don't know if my heart could
have stood it, but / told Ruth |
wish | could have seen what she
saw too. Henry missed it all also
He only witnessed the aftermath
Ruth's composure shattered, her
frightened ghostly look. and her
auaking voice trying to relate to
her husband the whole sequence OF
happenings. She said it all occurr-
ed so rapidly and yet it seemed
like an eternity.
Quite a story, don't you Think
Always. ETD
