Do you see what I see (Emileigh)
Dear Diary,
Last night I saw a UFO. I was driving on Union Avenue where it becomes Panorama, and there it was. Over oily expanse of desert derricks, it was flying through the black night: A rectangular prism with lights on each points of the box. They were flashing and colored red, blue, and white. It had a search beam that extended from the bottom of the box all the way to the ground. I pulled my car to the side of the road so I could marvel at it. The search beam scanned over the dry ground for a few minutes, and then it flew off, disappearing into an indistinguishable blob of color. Anyone else see something? Want to offer conspiracy theories linking this to Florida's Iguana invasion? Sincerely, Emileigh 7 comments from 7 users

We call that the sheriff's helicopter. They are searching for bad people. Apparently, you're not one of them. posted by

Where I'm from, we call it a ghetto bird.

I used the term "ghetto" earlier today, and was warned that term might be considered racist. So I will now use the term "less socially diverse, low income neighborhood..."

When I was a kid in the 60's, sonic booms and staring sightings in the sky were very common. Edwards Air force Base isn't that far away........................................

Yay for the ghetto bird, it keeps us safe at night. At least that's what they'd say if you asked them why they were shining the lights into your bedroom windows while you sleep;)
