It all started at 9 p.m. after an ice storm. The ground ice crunched under my feet. While walking towards my backyard door, I looked up and almost dropped my groceries. UFOs were assembling overhead; their ‘engines’ were glowing dark red against the blackness! I stared, confused at a strange but not yet disturbing sight. A clean, crisp hole was cut into the clouds, revealing bright stars surrounding the reddish circular bottoms. What looked like a child’s red balloon floated into view, a bright red against the stars and outlined blackness. The first red balloon stopped; then was joined by two more. All three, now four and five, now six and seven, now eight and nine balloons hung overhead and stopped in the centre of the cloud hole. My mind could not accept the sudden realisation! So, I photographed the scene but my pictures were dismissed as just a hoax!
