I’m realizing that while on my world tour of Maine this summer, I’m going to have to get use to multitasking. No not with tour related stuff, I’ve got staff for that, but with UFO investigations. Because I never know when something unusual will pop up.
Take for example my recent visit to Range Pond. There I was enjoying a stroll along the path, when I spied a new friend on the trail. There was a turtle happily sunning himself among the leaves. Nothing unusual there. I’ve met many turtles on my travels. I politely apologized for almost trodding upon him, and then turned to read a nearby kiosk.
When I turned to continued on our journey, I noticed my new turtle best friend was nowhere to be seen. Now I’m no expert on turtles, but I thought by all accounts they move slowly. Not slow like my stuffie friend Philip Sloth, but slow enough that I’d have seen where he went. But yet there wasn’t a sign of him! Nor did I even hear him walk away in the crunchy leaves. Surely, even with my panting, I would have heard the leaves rustling.
Dad thought it was strange too and looked around a bit in all directions to see where my turtle bestie could have gone. But he couldn’t find him either! That’s when Mom joked, “if Chuck Billy was here, he would have said that was a UFO!”
Mom, UFOs are no joking matter! And I think in this situation Angel Chuck Billy would have been right! After all the turtle is UFO shaped. Maybe it was a UFO disguised as a turtle? I can’t believe I made a rookie mistake of turning my back on him! In fact, there was a clue on the very sign I was reading! It said ponds in this area have been attracting tourists since the mid-1800s. Everyone knows Angel Chuck Billy strongly believed that extraterrestrials love to visit Maine. Could this encounter be further proof of his theory?
As we continued on our way, I started noticing there were strange round circles in the dirt. What if he wasn’t the only turtle UFO that landed here? What if I was surrounded by an entire fleet of them! Llily Llama, being a skeptic who never agreed with Angel Chuck Billy’s theories, squeaked that those were horseshoe prints. But having only seen the horse “presents” in the parking lot, and no actual horses on the trail, I’m inclined to believe Chuck Billy’s theory instead! After all, Angel Chuck Billy was a renowned dog ufologist, and Llily Llama is a tour manager, which are two totally different skill sets.
