Backyard

I have never shared this with anyone but thought I would now.

After my sister was born in August of 1951, we lived in the country and my room was at the back of the house by the backyard we had a large garden on on side and a berry garden on the other side of the yard. I was 2 and one half years old. I remember so many things when I was this age. But one evening after going to bed. we had no air conditioning we just kept our windows open. I loved that because I would enjoy the sound of the crickets, the night air blowing in my room, but one night I heard a different noise.

I set up at the window, which my bed was by and leaned on the window sill just looking out side. Now mind ya we had no TV so back them we keep busy play outside or with our dolls. But anyway while I was looking outside I saw and I will never forget it a small space craft in the back yard and its door was open and small people were in my back yard going in and out of their craft, what is really weird I watched it like it was either normal or just no big deal. But I was so interested in them because they were so very busy. We had chickens in the back they were in their house, but I seem to remember them having a chicken and I was not sure why they had it. But as a small child I just watched this I never said a word because it was just so interesting to me. Then I saw them all go back into the craft and the door closed and off it went.

Now call me what ever you will this is why I have not shared this all my life. But now I see more and more people having the same kind of experiences. So I don't feel to strange.

Hi. I think it would be interesting and a bit unsettling too. Did they only take a chicken?

Cool. Interesting you had such a good memory at that age... I can't remember anything that young. Crazy aliens stealing our chickens.

Hey. That is great story and yes, you should by no means feel as if it is something strange to talk about, but I understand that in that time, aliens were not as well known sotospeak, as they are now. Good for you for sharing it and how great it is that you remember it so vividly = )

OY. why did they take your chicken????

that is a good story tho. and i think as kids we tend

to remember things so well and react better than we would

as adults.

Very interesting story! I wonder if they were taking your chicken to make clones or hybrids. I don't think aliens have chickens on their home planet(s). :)

hmmm...maybe they were hungry? i mean all living beings need to some how replenish they energy right? And Why not the country? Its middle of nowhere and not many people to notice or see what they do. Perfect for something out of this world to happen no?
