This is most incredible but the other night I was out in the fields getting some last minute tilling in. The time was around 8:30pm and it was gettin really dark so I turned and started to head in. I decided to follow my east fenceline back to the house which has a large stand of balsam fir running along side it for the length of the field. About half way back I noticed a large glowing light beginning to rise from the woods, at first glance I figured it was the moon but I quickly noticed that it was risein a little to fast to be the moon. Ten seconds had past and the orb of light cleared the trees and settled directly over my tractor, I looked straight up into it but had to turn my eyes away due to the extreme brightness. Quickly I reached into my toolbox and took a sharp swig from my bottle of old grand dad, shook my head vioently then looked up to see if the object was still there. To my horror it was. It was now time to choose stay with the tractor or self preservation, As much as I love my tractor I was'nt about to become genne pig for a bunch of alein biology students so I jumped off the tractor and started highsteppin for the house. Not looking back I noticed my surroundings breifly light up as if something had exploded behind me but there was no explosion. No matter I was'nt gonna stop. After reaching the house I looked out over the field and seen no trace of what had happened. Not wanting to go out there in the dark I waited till morning, When I arrived at the place were I had left the tractor I quickly noticed that it was gone. Oddly enough the only question I have is, how the hell am I going to explain this to the insurance man?
