well, as it happens, I do remember the triangular UFO we saw Mike. Of course it could have been anything, there is an airforce base not far away. In my mind I sort of thought I'd made that one up, but it was me and Laura sitting in the car in front of Smith and Grant or thereabouts. Would have been late summer 96. I suppose I could ask her if she remembers. She would have been more sober than I
; )

hey,
Those red lights could have easily been on the top. Fin would be in a better position to describe. Remember I could only see it when I squinted and there were other "obstacles". I didn't mean to go X-files on you guys but I have seen other UFO's. One in broad daylight near woodland, indiana; probably 1990 or 1991. It was the typical elliptical metallic sphere roughly 20 or 30 yards long. I had my glasses that time and no fungus. I had the same creepy feeling both times, BEFORE I saw them...weird. I can't say any more, the MIB are at my door.

"BLOOMINGTON -- I saw a very unusual dark aircraft on my way home from work in the evening on January 4, 2001. From a distance, driving east on Indiana 45, I saw a bright yellow light with a white light, not as bright, next to it on the same craft hovering in the sky. There were tiny red lights on top, none on the belly. As I rounded a bend between Bloomington and New Unionville, Indiana I saw that the craft was about 50 feet above treetop and crossing the road right to left, directly overhead. I pulled off to watch and noticed other vehicles behind me had also done so. There was no noise - I rolled down my window to listen - nothing. As the craft passed over my car, I got a good look at it against 'night sky light pollution' from Bloomington - it was triangle-shaped, with a white light in each of the three wing tips and appeared to be black in color. A mile or so down the road, the snow looked blown across the road like drifting. The rest of the roadway was clear. I thought copter at first, until I saw the thing. Not like any I had ever seen. It seemed like when motorists had pulled off to watch it flew away to the west. Thanks to MUFON WORLDWIDE UFO DATABASE http://www.mufon.com/"

INDIANA FLYING TRIANGULAR UFO SIGHTED

BLOOMINGTON -- Joseph Trainor reports that on Friday, January 5, 2001, eyewitness G.E.D. was driving east on Indiana Highway 45 between New Unionville and Bloomington, he reported, "I saw a very Unusual aircraft on my way home from work. I saw a bright yellow light with a white light, maybe not as bright, hovering in the sky. There were two red lights on top, none on the belly. So I rounded a bend and I saw that the craft was about 50 feet above treetop (level), crossing the road from right to left (north). directly overhead." "I pulled off to watch and noticed that other vehicles behind me had also done the same. There was no noise. I rolled down my window to listen but there was no sound. As the craft passed over my car, I got a quick look at it against the night sky. It was triangle-shaped with a white light at each of the three wing tips (corners) and appeared to be black in color. A mile or so down the road, the snow looked (as if it had been) blown across the road like drifting. The rest of the road was clear. I thought it was a helicopter at first until I saw the thing. It was not like anything I had ever seen." Bloomington is approximately 68 miles south of Indianapolis.

seriously? I don't remember Finn telling me that story. I will have to get him to weigh in on this.

I remember seeing fin svingly and a girl looking at a UFO hovering over a house I had just left because I was shrooming so hard I had to get some air. They had just got into a car and locked the doors outside jeb's house (505?) as they peered through the windshield when I crept up and banged furiously on the door. Fin nearly went through the roof. To this day I am sure Lance, Pfau and AJ think I was the one making noises outside the house when I was blocks away so it had to be this giant UFO. Fin and the girl were totally sober and they said they could see red triangles under this thing. I didn't have my glasses on so all I could see were red lights flashing on and off. Those aliens can kiss my skinny white ass!!!!!

I do remember the DAY OF CLOUDS. I was laying on the hood of one of Jeb's weird German cars after eating some mushrooms watching the magnificent skies.
Wasn't sure how much was brain chemistry or weather. Assumed both.

I loved second story. The sound was always great. The stage looked like a circus show and I always enjoyed playing there. Sardina was an Indianapolis band but we got such a great response from the lovely citizens of Bloomington. It was good to be young, drunk and happy.
