I went to a ranch at the foot of Mt. Adams in Washington state for a week of solitude to do some writing. While at the ranch, which has a reputation for being a UFO hotspot, I was very interested to see some strange objects flying in the night skies above the mountain. I don't know if they were "ours" or "theirs", but as someone who has piloted a few airplanes (civilian and military) and ridden in a lot more, I can say that the objects behaved differently from any publicly known craft!

The day before I left the ranch, a fire broke out on the mountain. It was particularly sad to me, since I'm an animal lover, as you might have guessed from my May 2008 adventure.
