Space Aliens
You're driving along in your car. It's fall, it's getting dark earlier, but you still get out of work in Burbank at seven, so by the time you're in Brentwood, it's about seven-thirty. Even though it's dark, the sky is filled with light and something has left a crazy, bright trail in the sky. It's huge -- looks like it'll take up the whole sky. Your chest is tight with a feeling you can't name. You know better than to let your imagination run away with you, but it's so beautiful and so weird. It could be angels, space aliens, stunt for the next Spielberg movie.It's a missle from Vandenberg Airforce Base, located outside of Lompoc -- which seems far away, but still makes for stunning tableaus in Los Angeles. It's a little disappointing that the source isn't as crazy as the spectacle. But still, it's uplifting that it gave you something to wonder at and made the world full of such possibilities.
Tonight, Vandenberg is sending up a Minotaur missle at 7:24 pm. Keep your eyes peeled.
