Other Worldly Love

As a young girl, my curiosity kept my occupied most of the time. I always liked to ask a bunch of questions about space at when I was young. One question blossomed into a passion one night. It all started on May 2nd, 2140 in our hometown of Happyjack Arizona; a small desert town on the outskirts of the state where everyone knew each other.

My mom and I were out stargazing one night. I bugger her with questions about space because she studied it in college and knew a lot about it and it fascinated me.

“What is that?” I asked my mom.

“Well Julia, that’s the star Vega. It’s one of the brightest stars in the night sky and makes up the constellation Lyra!”

“Wow, that’s so cool. Do you think anyone is out there? Other life?”

“Well, I think it’s possible, but they are probably too far away to come to us.”

“Yeah, I guess you’re right.”

Every night after I did my homework, I would go outside and just stare at the stars and dream about what is going on in space.

One night about a month later, I was stargazing with my mom, and we saw something moving.

“What’s that? It’s moving!”

“I don’t know honey.”

“It’s an alien ship.”

“We don’t know that. Since we don’t know that for sure, we call it a UFO — an unidentified flying object.”

I thought it was an alien ship, and I was obsessed with the UFO community and the phenomenon of UFOs.

After that, stargazing turned more into UFO watching, and I saw several. I saw saucers and triangles and everything imaginable.

I would start to tell my friends about my obsession with UFOs and they would all call me crazy. I would tell them I saw UFO’s and alien ships, and they would all just gaze at me with a confused look on their face and then just walk away. In the course of a month, I lost all my friends but one. Her name was Kelsey and she was a loyal friend who stood by my side. I was a major outcast at my school and only Kelsey would talk to me.

One night, while gazing upward at the stars, I saw another UFO, but it didn’t zoom by like the others. It just hovered in the sky. Then it started to come closer to me. I started to panic and ran inside. Everything started to shake — and then it stopped. I waited for a minute, and then went back outside and it was gone.

“What was that?” I thought while still shaking with fear.

After that, I went outside every night for 3 years at the same time to see if it would come back. I was 15 when it came back one night. I saw it hovering there in the same spot as last time but this time I didn’t run. I stood my ground and didn’t let my fear overtake me.

Then a beam of light shot down right precisely to where I was standing. I tried to move but I couldn’t. I blacked out. When I came to my senses, I was strapped to a chair terrified about not being able to move. I heard gargled voices. Then, a gray glowing person stood in front of me.

“Hello Julia,” the grey person said.

“Where am I? Who are you?”

“My name is Rinor. I am from the star system Pakner, which is 63 light years away. We have been watching you for the last couple of years ever since you saw us last.”

“That was almost 3 years ago. Why haven’t you come back until now? Also, it took you 63 years to get here? Why aren’t you old?”

“Wow you have a lot of questions.
