So, I'm laying in bed trying to go to sleep since I quit my job tomorrow morning I need to be well rested to make the cup of coffee I will be drinking when I call in. Btw, I'm sick of fucking fireworks, go away you pyro bastards. Anyway, I'm laying in bed and I hear my roomate's friend come in screaming his name, things get quiet, then I hear him scream for me. Well, I really don't give a fuck and he knows where I sleep so I figure if it's important he'll come get me. Nobody comes.

About a half hour later I decided trying to sleep is futile. I get up and eat a vicodin, grab a pepsi and light a cigarette. I walk in to the garage and they are still in the driveway acting all gay and shit. Then the stories start about the big red saucer that hovered close by then disappeared then reappeared then left. I was like yeah yeah yeah. I did believe them, but honestly did not care. They say fuck it and disband. Im out here in the garage smoking and I look over across the street and there is this brilliant red glowing thing that appears to be about the size of a quarter. The glare from it formed very sharp long rays which did not move or get dim at all. It slowly drifted off until it was just gone.

When they first told me about this my first instinct was to call this girl I know who has been downtown all night watching fireworks to see if she saw it. She had a hearty chuckle and told me they were these ballons they do every 4th. I was like haha, I knew it.....kinda. But, when I saw the one I saw it was not that. It came from the part of town that doesn't have that shit, where all the farms are. But, I wouldn't rule it out 100%.

Since you guys are smarter than me I would appreciate an explanation. One that includes alien beings being preferable.
