Can this be? For years, I’ve told people about my
close encounter with a flying saucer. Not once, but twice. In fact, minutes
after it zipped away, it returned and I was able to get an even closer look.
That was decades ago when I was with three other men at Smith Mountain Lake.
Many doubt my story; to them it’s as if I’d told them I’d
seen a pair of ghosts. What I’ve finally realized is that there’s a question
that must be answered about my sighting. Unfortunately, until today, I didn’t
know what the question was. Or is.
This is it (I think). “What did you learn?”
That’s it. Those dubious listeners believe that I must have
learned something as a result of having seen the extraterrestrial vehicle.
Until this evening, I didn’t understand what I’d learned.
Nor did I realize that their belief was blocked because I hadn’t confronted that
question.
Although I think I can put it into words, those words may be
shocking. The reason for that is that most objects are said to move relative to
the speed of light (186,000 miles per second!).
Thanks to WIKIPEDIA (see “Speed of Light”), I’m led to
believe in the infallibility of that standard:
…From these equations we find that the speed of
light is related to the inverse of the square root of the permittivity
of free space and the permeability
of free space.
A consequence of this fact is that nothing can
go faster than the speed of light. Another consequence is that for objects that
have weight, no matter how much energy is used to increase the speed of an
object, it will get closer and closer but it will never reach the speed of
light. These ideas were discovered in the early 1900s by Albert Einstein
whose work completely changed our understanding of light.
Now, hold on to your
seats! I’m not an Einstein, but I saw his assumption shattered as a result of
the performance of the UFO’s I observed. Here’s why:
The flying objects I witnessed (twice!) defied Einstein, his theory,
and gravity--- with ease. As they came and went, I noted their warp speed and
their silence.
My UFO was travelling beyond the speed
of light. It was travelling at the speed of time.
Of course, you’ll want to stop me and say that time is only
a concept used as a measuring device. You’ll contend that time is neither a
wave nor a substance made of particles. “It lacks dimension,” you might add.
Up to a point, you may be right. As long as light and its
waves are the standard, time remains contented to hide behind its curtain. But
my thought is that, once past that barrier that light represents, time changes.
It acquires shape and dimension.
In short, it seems that what I’ve learned is that, as long
as we insist on doing battle with light and its limited speed, we won’t see
time.
We won’t be able to determine its dimension(s).
As implausible as that might seem, it may be that we have
sensed it as our spiritual world, a world beyond light that is only time, an
eternity of it.
As always, I’m open if you have a better theory; I’d like to
hear it.
I just wish you’d been there with me that night I saw the
flying saucer(s)!
