I dedicate this song to those who've had their brain split in half.
Split brain experiment. If severed, both halves of your brain process information differently and then how you communicate information back to others or how you express yourself is different than when your brain halves are unified. But still, your brain works together and differently all at the same time. This is something to think about in how we receive and process and understand the world around us and then communicate what we think we know. I alluded to this in my previous post about telescope viewing. All telescopes I've ever used have had only one eyepiece. My brain halves are joined, I think, I don't think I live in a split level head, so if viewing things through a telescope do I have a visual bias, a memory bias, an information processing bias or does it matter?

This is about the time I saw 4 UFOs, flying saucers, all at once. And I've never seen or had any other UFO/alien experience in my life, before or since. At least I don't think so. This is not a “story”, I'm just telling like it was. I'm posting this now because of the significance of the anniversary. I'm leaving out certain details for privacy reasons, mostly because I don't trust AI. It crawls the web and I'm pretty sure it's cataloging all of us. I was never paranoid about anything until 2020. Enough said.

Thursday, September 30th, 1993. The Blue/Harvest Moon. This is significant in that this year, 2023, the September full moon was the last Thursday of the month, the 28th. I was in junior high, I had a cheap simple Galilean style telescope. Our backyard faced the east and even with houses and trees, a full moon was fully visible within 45-60min after moon rise. That's between 9.3-10.5° above the horizon.

It was a completely clear and calm night. I had been watching the moon for maybe 15min. I had the telescope on full zoom and in perfect focus. That's when I saw them. Four oval shaped periods dart across my field of view from right to left (south to north) in a fraction of a second in a wedge formation and were gone. I immediately looked up to see if I could find them. Nothing. Either through the eyepiece or unaided I saw no lights, no exhaust trails, no heat plumes. There were no features to these objects, just oval in shape. There was no sound. I heard and saw no aircraft at the time from any direction.

And that's it. There were no power outages. No burned fields. No crop circles. No men in black. No other witnesses. I've checked websites that keep track of these things by date and I've found nothing. I sighted this while living in Kansas at the time. I've checked for UFO accounts for Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska for that date. I'm getting no results.

For English class we had to write journals for submital to the teacher. I wrote about this a month or two after the fact. I might still have that notebook in storage somewhere, but it's yet to be found. I also still have the telescope. In storage somewhere.

If not alien spacecraft flying saucers, then what? I've thought about it being geese, fighter jets, bugs, or maybe satellites. I seem to also discount those explanations. These were featureless, lightless, soundless, fast moving, oval shapes, but moved just slow enough I could see what little detail there was. I haven't thought about this event until recently when I was compiling a list of other strange encounters in my life and there's not many. Plus with all the YouTube videos about this sort of thing I thought I'd revisit my own experience.

There is one more thing to be said. I recently saw a YouTube video about left and right brain stuff. There was a man who has had his two brain halves severed. He's perfectly healthy, but in one experiment he was simultaneous shown two images, one for each eye. His right eye was shown a hammer, his left eye a saw, and neither eye could see the other eye's image. They asked him what he saw. He verbally stated “hammer” but when they next asked him to draw what he had seen, he drew a saw with his hand.

Back then at that age I viewed anything with a single eyepiece with my right eye. So therefore only my left brain saw the objects and therefore that's how I describe what I saw. I don't know many telescopes with two eyepieces. Definitely not cheap ones. The only thing I can be certain about is that I saw something unusual. It was definitely a lucky one in a googleplex chance sighting of something. Four objects in wedge formation seen through a telescope against a rising full moon, that I would be in the exact right place on Earth at the right time with a clear view and not have momentarily been distracted, looked away, or anything to catch that.

So there it is. That's all I've got to say about that. Just keep watching the skies.
yo man Just one correction, as I am a stickler for accuracy and posterity purposes, it is possible I have the wrong date as it may have been 1 or 2 days prior. I remember now doing moon viewings on the couple of days before the full moon. The moon rises approx. 1hr later each day and for some reason I feel like there was still a little daylight when I saw these things. So, the moon would have been the same height above the horizon, but 1 or 2 days prior would have yielded more light in the sky. Anyway, only being a couple days off is too important, I still remember it like it was recently. And again, if it wasn't flying saucers then whatever it was it was a spectacular visual catch.

You're listening to KETH 98.6 on your FM dial.
The animations on this channel are astounding. This is probably the best explanation of this topic especially in the use of maps and diagrams. I recommend viewing on a full screen monitor or TV on max HD possible in a dark room. For full effect, of course.
