Back when I was a boy working on my father’s farm.

I had one of the strangest experiences of my life.

Getting up early just before sunrise every morning

Was a normal thing for me, as I had to feed the cows,

Chickens and other live stock before I got the school bus

At the farm gate for my day at the local school.

Little did I know that getting up to feed the livestock?

Today was going to change my life forever.

Getting up just before sunrise I got dressed put on my boots

And headed for the old barn just across from the house.

The barn seemed very quiet this morning normally I could hear

Daisy and Mary mooing away waiting for me to bring in their food.

But today not a sound could be heard, as I reach the barn door I noticed

A strange light coming from under it, what could it be I thought?

A fire ..I quickly grabbed a bucket from the side of the barn filled it with

Water and hurriedly opened the barn door, what I saw made me drop the bucket

And stand wide-eyed with wonder there on the floor of the barn I could see

A very small round saucer shaped object spinning with all the colours of the rainbow

Shining out from its middle. Then suddenly it just stopped and the lights disappeared

And everything went quite dark so reaching for the old oil lamp I quickly got a match

From my pocket and lit it up, and there in the light from the lamp was the saucer

Shining quite brightly under the light from the lamp. I quickly picked it up

And with a little bit of trouble managed to put it into my jacket pocket.

Then I carried on as usual feeding the cows who seemed none the worse

For there little encounter. After finishing my chores I went in to have a shower and

Get ready for my day at school but first I took the saucer out of my pocket wrapped it

Carefully in an old shirt and put it at the back of the old wardrobe.

Undressing quickly I dived under the shower had a quick wash dried then

Got into my uniform and headed for the wardrobe, just as I was about to open it

It started to shake and light started to shine from every little gap and crack.
