We Are Not Alone by Rachel's Reflection

June 25th, 2008 3:11 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Document paranormal activity.

I was at an outdoor concert, snapping photos for another task, when I happened to look up at the evening sky. At first, all I saw were the pink-tinged clouds, but then I looked a little bit closer, and saw this:

There, in the middle of the sky, was a white speck that almost looked like a shooting star. Uncertain if I was really seeing it, I zoomed in with my camera for a better shot:

Yes, there was definitely something zooming down toward earth, and leaving a white-hot trail behind it.

As the sky darkened with the approaching evening, the trail became even more visible:

It could be anything, I told myself. Maybe a meteor. Maybe some sort of plane I hadn't seen before. But then I looked behind me in the gathering darkness and saw strange, colored lights:

A man seemed to be trying to swat away some sort of green, glowing creature or object - alive or inanimate, I could not say - with something that looked like an umbrella.

Yes! It was an umbrella! But I could only see this - and capture it on camera - once there was more light, which seemed to be coming from an unfortunate and painful source, as it slammed right into the man's chest. Note that the green object, whatever it is, is still hovering over the man's head as well. I feared it might be some sort of tracer so that They - whoever They were - would know where to find their target.

This unfortunate man was not the only one attacked by the glowing green things. This woman - on the right - seems to have one hovering over her chest.

I couldn't bear to see her fate - but other happenings attracted my attention now from another direction. The UFO seemed to have landed in earnest now, perhaps in a ball of fire. As I looked southward - the exact direction where the UFO had been headed - a series of colorful explosions lit up the sky.

While some looked like mere fireballs, others seemed to contain frightening creatures built of heat and light. This one has his head thrown back, and two skinny arms stretching out to the right.

This one has a purple main, and seems to be sneaking forwad, praying mantis-like, toward the right.

I could see some sort of upright being hidden in this fireball as well.

And, at one point, I saw what looked like a satellite dish pointing to the right - the direction they all seemed to be looking. I am concerned that they were sending a signal back to their home planet.
main_062520081333dsc58095.jpg

But it wasn't until I got home that I found the most disturbing image of all. I did not see this in person, but my camera captured it while I was documenting this supernatural event. The man in the front left corner of the camera seems to be a ghost of some sort. You can see how the lights behind him shine right through his face. I can only hope that this is not the same man who tried to fend off an attack with his umbrella. I fear, however, that he may be, or that this man also met with a similar fate.
main_062520081333dsc58096.jpg

Upon further reflection, I am even more concerned for the woman whose hand appears to my right, as her fingers seem to be enveloped in strange worms made of pure light. I am concerned that the aliens are trying to infiltrate her body so that they can use her to further their own ends.

Of course, I am only an ameteur in this field, and I pray that my theory is wrong. Other opinions are welcome, especially from experts on paranormal activity.

One thing I can assure you of, however, is that all of these photos were taken using a regular digital camera, and that none of them have been altered in any way. No photoshopping, no trickery. I didn't even crop them.

I invite you to make of them what you will.

I've got that 'someone did a task you made' feeling again!

Thank you!


I fear the green things...

I am surprised no one else has found any paranormal activity to document. I didn't even go out looking for it - I just happened to spot it with a camera in my hands.

Or maybe that is precisely the problem - this is just not the sort of task that can be planned out in advance - it just has to happen.

I saw a weird red glowing disc in the sky over the sea once. There were no boats out or anything and I couldn't find any explanation for it at all.
Unfortunately I didn't have a camera with me, and I'll probably never get another opportunity like it.

Before I knew it, I was aboard the hover vessel, and was heading not into outer space, but into inner space... +2

...towards the Earth's molten core, for that is the domain of the third alien, whose name, he soon told me, was lord Kinbote."


Yay!
