It was big and yellow - flew right over my head ! Suddenly the ground shook and there was a very bright intense light. That's all I remember,.. other than my bottom hurts.

So... it was big, yellow and your bottom hurts. Sounds like they're hostile!

@739P: I think that same thing happened to Eric Cartman on the very first episode of South Park.

Radio-controlled copters with mutliple electric motors & propellors that can haul cameras are pretty common these days. Google on "quadcopter" for examples of many sizes.

I wonder where the need comes from to make juvenile and insulting antigay comments.

Thanks 809P. I did so. Excuse the second posting - was a mistake. BTW I cannot find the key for the A H N O codes. I know I saw that once....
