Aliens - Southbound

Last week, I was planning to attend DC's famous Screen on the Green, where they show a film outdoors on the national mall. On the bus that day, I observed a seemingly "normal" man complete with cell phone and discussion of a website he had created. Eventually the bus had to detour off 14th St. due to a car wreck and at this point he struck up a conversation.

I assumed he was going to refer to the traffic or police when he asked if I was from DC. Then without warning, he says, "You're going to think I'm crazy but...." (I think I even made a joke that everyone was crazy on the bus, but this did not deter...) Then he proceeds to tell me that he was recently at the US Capitol building at night, when a "UFO came down." "It was incredible," he said, "with lights beaming all over the place." Then he asked if I had email, to which I shook my head in the negative. "Too bad," he said, "because I have pictures, I made a website."

Eventually, I slid my headphones back on, eventhough they were out of batteries. What happened??? This guy really did seem to fit my profile for "Normal."

So here's the really strange part.....
Like I said, I was on my way to Screen on the Green. If you ever get the chance, you should go, because the view of the screen is topped off with the Capitol building in the foreground and the whole thing is very DC....free community event... So the movie that night was an old black and white film from the 1950s called "The Day the Earth Stood Still." And just GUESS what its about... I kid you not, a UFO lands on the lawn of the US Capitol.......

If aliens do come to DC I wont be that impressed because stranger things have happened on the bus.
