I’ve heard that aliens can control a lot of things: us, matter (since they can walk through walls), gravity, possibly even dimensions and time. But we just got proof they can control the weather.
It became obvious last Saturday on May 14th at the McMenamins UFO Festival parade. It had rained all week, and early that Saturday morning as I drove from my home in Gresham to McMinnville, about an hour’s drive, Mother Nature threw everything she had against my windshield. I worried about the parade. In the days prior I had keenly watched every weather report, and also that morning before heading out, hoping there would be some miraculous swing of weather. But, they all agreed we would at least have showers throughout the day.
And that proved to be true as I walked from one festival event to another. Then, inexplicably, the clouds parted just before parade time. The sun came out, and it remained sunny and dry for the rest of the afternoon. Not a shower, not a drop. What could have made such a thing happen. Personally, I have to go with the aliens. After all, the parade was in their honor, and they certainly wouldn’t want it to rain on their parade.
I walked along the parade route and handed out alien stickers to the kids. It was so great to see those little faces. It had been two, long Covid-encrusted years without this parade—two years of only seeing eyes and masks. Now people stood five deep on either side of the parade route, wide grins on their faces and an alien glow to their eyes. Or, maybe that was just the reflection of the sun.
Enjoy the images from one of the best and most imaginative parades I have ever attended. If you haven’t yet made it to this event, you best put it on your bucket list for next year.
