Aliens

On a summer afternoon many years ago my brother and I were shooting fireworks in our parent's friend's front yard. The adults were getting drunk in the hot tub. So my brother and I were minding our own business just playing as usual and then suddenly this giant black triangle showed up just above the trees. Immediately we turned and looked to see the horror in each other's face. I turn to look back at the immense object and notice out of the corner of my eye my brother shooting rockets at the damn thing. This instantly caused me to panic and try to stop him from showing aggression towards whatever is piloting this silent polygon. My next recollection is us both standing facing East as the huge craft slowly skids across the sky. This is when I notice a light in the center of the object that slowly pulsed from dark blue to bright blue. And it was gone. . .

My brother and I sprint to the garage where the adults are now extremely worried about us. We didn't understand why they were mad at us. We just wanted them to come see this thing in the sky. They were worried sick because to them we had been missing for over three hours. I thought they were just kidding. To me, we had only been outside about two or three minutes total. The only evidence that we had to show for ourselves was that we still had almost all of our fireworks left. I mean, what kid with fireworks just holds on to them for three hours? Well definitely not us.
