The terra scurried and ran away from the woods, far away from the encounters in the underbrush. The little terra ran further and further until they reached a large hill. The terra climbed up the hill, which was a task easier said than done given their small stature. They slowly made their way up, running out of breath. What on Terrah was going on in this crazy night. The little terra sat down in the grass, their fur getting ever so slightly wet from the midnight dew on the blades. They slightly adjusted themself, trying to catch their breath from all the running from the monstrous plants. They leaned back, allowing themself to finally experience what had happened firsthand. Their anxious breaths slowed to a rhythmic descent as they tried to find their balance. Deep breaths, Blip. Blip examined the stars in the sky. Despite the worst things imaginable, they could always look towards the stars for a reassuring view. The worst of the night was over.

That was, until an odd sight caught their attention rather quickly. A bright green streak rushed through the sky, leaving an odd, smokey trail in its wake. There was no way it was some sort of shooting star, because those were white, not green. It was as if the skies and heavens themself split open, with the green trail being the wound in the sky. It was simply too real for fiction, yet too outlandish for fact. It was a “blink and you miss it” situation for the poor terra, leaving them baffled. From the monstrous plants encountered only an hour earlier, and now this strange encounter, Blip was trying to figure out what was going on. “Surely, the only possible idea was that this was a dream” Blip thought to themself as they watched the remaining streak of green fade away from the sky. They quickly sat up, pinching themself to make sure they weren’t asleep and this was all some weird dream. However, once they no longer found themself in the comforts of their bed, the realization dawned upon them. This was no dream; they had just witnessed an unidentified flying object in the flesh. Blip got up from where they were sitting and stretched, hoping to themself they weren’t the only one who saw the UFO in person. After all, such a moment in history deserved to be shared with others.
