I know what your thinking. This fruitcase has a story for everything...lol Actually though, I didnt experience this firsthand.. so it wont be as thrilling as the last tale.
One summers night around 17 yrs ago... on the way back home from visiting with his friend... my brother experienced something very unusual on a small... out of the way gravel road....... that led out to an unoccupied expanse of land . This gravel road ran right next to our house.. and we kind of thought of it as our own.. but actually it led out to farmlands.. woods.. no houses.
My brother was coming home from his friends house one night around 11 pm. His friend lived the next house over so it was a short walk that they would often make together. Alot of times they would ride their bikes back and forth between their driveways.. back in the good old days when kids still could be kids.. Anyway, nobody was ever out that way that late... cars, trucks, few and far between on this little road. They were really shocked.. when out of nowhere came this caravan of big trucks... that looked like something straight out of a military movie. My brother and his friend took off on their bikes following the caravan of trucks.. wondering what the heck they were doing going down that old gravel road.. that late at night... in their neighborhood. They hadnt made it too far when a car turned in behind them and quickly overcame them. The man that was driving the car passed them and then pulled over on the side of the road and got out of the car. My brother and his friend were freaking out when that happened... and they stopped in their tracks. The guy walked up to them and asked them what they were doing. When they said they were riding down the gravel road a ways... following the military trucks that had just passed that way.. the man pulled out some kind of badge... and told them they needed to turn around and be heading in the other direction... and go home... :shock: My brother said the guy let it be known that they wouldnt be going any further..and so they turned those bikes around and made their way back home. They couldnt sleep at all that night for thinking of what had happened.
The next day they decided that they take a little trip down that road and see if they could find out anything about what had happened the night before. They hadn't even mentioned the man to anyone.. and didnt for a long time. They were that intimidated by the whole incident. They went down a longs way out into the middle of nowhere.. and there they found a huge burned area in a field. My brother said he didnt know how a fire could have burned an area that large, and noone know about it. He knew it had something to do with the military trucks that had went down the road the night before.
Later on when he was an adult, he told me of this story. He swears it is true.. and he still wonders what really happened that night so long ago..when he had a close encounter with a strange caravan of what he called official military vechiles.
We have often sit and joked about what it could have been.. Could it have been something that had fallen from the sky and they went out to retrieve it? Thats what my brother thinks. It sounds like something right out of a science fiction story. I always laugh and tell him it was probably an alien spaceship.. like the one that crashed at Roswell.
