For one season I worked with National Severe Storm Labs out of Norman, Oklahoma. I was an Air Force guy who sent up the weather balloons, from a field site near Piedmont OK.

One day we worked from 10am to 4am; it was a long day/night with thunderstorms all the time. One tornado missed us, but hit some nearby houses. I remember the radio instructions from the radar operator: Take Cover!

Where? We're in a friggin’ field!!

We could hear the tornado, but could not see it because it was DARK. We had to spot it through the lightning flashes while the rain went right into our eyes...the winds were over 50 mph at that time.

You don't forget times like that.

So, you are the one responsible for all those UFO sightings!
