UFO!! spoiler

Post by Kailric » Sun, 20. Jun 04, 18:12

Spoiler

I know this is space and all but, what I just saw freaked me out!! I was cruiseing along about to enter a gate when I here this wirling sound...something out of an old space invadeing black and white movie long ago, then from out of no where this UFO appears wirling around me, for a second there I thought I was seeing things, must be on the wrong channel or monitor but it was real...flashing lights and all. I fumbled like a mofo to get my camera and manage a few snap shots: http://webpages.charter.net/kailric/x2screen124.jpg before it vanished through the warp gate. I am not makeing this up I tell you! You got to believe me! We are being watched!

Didn't you see the base? There's a UFO base that sends out scouts every once in a while. <snicker>

A good think for a UFO is set a Pegasus to follow it if you haven't mapped out the universe, it'll do a good job for you.
