At 7:55pm, I went indoors to check the atomic clock. This was done after the helicopter mysteriously flashed its bright, white-colored “headlight(s)” into our backyard from the southern direction. The usual colors of red and blue lights were flashing against the clear starlit night.
Of course, I knew they were saying “Hello” to moi. So I used the hand signal to get its “Attention” (or most likely the hand signal to come in for a landing). Then I did a pyramid over my head and then a couple of “Egyptian” double-hand gestures to the left and right.
I got tired of that stupid encounter and fetched the dried three-pieced aluminum steamer, which was propped up against our stucco wall. I showed the lid to the helicopter, which was still flying over the fourth or third house from our corner block. It’s amazing timing when I went outdoors this night.
Then went I went indoors. I still heard the noise as it made an “about-face” into the opposite direction and headed off towards south. I recall holding up both my palms into the night air; saw the wondrous misty blue halo surrounding the shiny moon over our backyard and blessed that silvery roundness with my eyes closed.
I guess they wanted me to look up after all.
