Aliens love my wine!
This past Saturday was another bottling night. We had our friends Chrisie and Tony over to help, and ended up with about 3.5 cases of wine: Blueberry Port and Ruby Cabernet.
Of course we sampled as we bottled; it's thirsty work. Once we were done and cleaned up, Tony and I stepped outside to the porch to enjoy the night air and the Ruby Cab. That's when 'it' appeared.
I saw a red light rise from behind a neighbor's house, probably a block of so behind that house. It slowly went into the air, glowing bright red, and leveled off. Tony and I watched as it slowly cruised across the sky, taking at least a minute to drift out of sight. The whole time it did not rise, fall, move nearer or closer...just drifted along.
We ran into the house to tell our wives, who responded just as you would "sure, have another glass of wine guys." Now at no time did I think it was aliens, but it was an 'unidentified' flying object. I know the Blueberry Port is good, but not First Contact with Intergalactic Explorers good.
Tony and I went back to the porch, and there it was...another one. We called them outside and showed them the glowing orb. They saw it...they had no explanation. There was no apology for not believing us either, by the way. This one kept the same flight path, same color, everything.
When asked on Monday how my weekend was, I relayed this story. I couldn't be sure what it was; probably a helicopter, military plane, something like that. I guess I watched too many X-Files in the 90's because a coworker pointed out a type of firework called a Chinese Lantern that floats into the sky and drifts away.
I have 6 more gallons of the Ruby Cab in the cellar to be bottled. What do you think: UFO Red? Sky Lantern Cabernet? Martian Red?
How were the wines? Delicious. I'll post more about them later.
Live long and prosper....
