17. Back in the early 70's I saw three objects that had the appearance of stars.

Two of the outer objects (both of which were evenly parallel to the middle object at all times) were rotating in a circular clockwise directions around the middle object. At some point, the two outer objects changed directions and stared evenly rotating in a circular counter clockwise motion around the center object.

At some point, the two outer objects changed directions again and both of these objects moved toward each other, with the middle object being dead center, with direct parallel precision, and joined with the middle object. At that point, the objects all became as one. The object became very bright and appeared to take off across the night sky appearing like a shooting star. In all, this took about five minutes.

The image has clearly stuck in my mind over the years. I have thought about it on several occasions and have come up with two conclusions.

One, whatever was behind the manipulation of those objects was intelligent. Two, given the distance and speed of those objects and given humans limited technological advances, this was not a human created event.

A cousin was with me at the time observing this, and I recently checked with her to see if our memories of the event coincided. They did.

I am thankful for observing this event. It has helped to keep me grounded throughout my life to the fact that human understanding is extremely limited to the vast mysterious universe that we all dwell.
