Love, especially our […]

Read MoreAnd I mean “real” not as in “unidentified” flying object, but as in not-from-this-world flying object? While I’m reasonably certain that some strange seeming-objects and/or lights in the sky are extraterrestrial or interdimensional in origin, I have no idea which ones are just photoshopped or otherwise hoaxed or misidentified.
