I Just Saw 3 UFOs Flying In Formation In The Night Sky Over Bali - Wooohaa! ;-)
The other night I was driving my motorcycle home when I looked up to Bali's magical starry night sky and saw what I thought were 3 UFOs hovering in formation!
I had to swerve through the traffic and pull my motorcycle over to stare at them. The three craft in the sky were glowing green and hovering in triangular formation. The craft were about 400 meters above me, high in the night sky and surrounded by stars. I spent ten minutes with cars flying by staring at them and trying to work out what was going on...
Should I start dancing around in celebration of the coming of the UFOs? Should I ride away in fear? Was I tripping on Balinese mushrooms? What was going on?
Finally I worked out what the strange green-lit craft in the night sky were....
The Balinese Love Kites
The Balinese have a long and ancient tradition of kite flying which is shared by many cultures on our amazing planet. Every year there is an amazing kite flying festival held on Bali which is totally worth seeing if you happen to be here!
I have been living on Bali off-and-on for many years and I am totally accustomed to seeing the Balinese flying kites in the villages... These incredible kites range from the simple which are made from plastic, bamboo and rubber, to the totally incredible.
During the hot months the blue skies over Bali are punctuated with tiny kites held high in the sky. The Balinese make some of the largest kites to ever be seen. They are the projects of entire villages and take many people working in harmony to launch.
Like the Balinese I love kites and always have! 😍
The Balinese often stretch rubber between the spars of their kites which vibrates as the wind passes over them, creating a spooky but soothing humming.
I do not carry digital devices with me so so sadly I was unable to take a photo of these UFOs!
The Future Of Kite Flying
Although I am familiar with the Balinese kite flying culture there has been a new and interesting development to this process. I had never seen this before but it is becoming more common to see kites with LED lights attached to them at night.
This was the explanation for the three UFOs I saw hovering above me the other night. These were kites which had green LEDs woven into their structure.
I was dissapointed that the UFOs were not coming to take me on an amazing adventure but also slightly relieved.... I have a lot left to talk about on Steemit before I am ready to adventure into space! 😉
Now for the last week I have seen more and more of these humming, glowing kites in the sky. The elders in my village are marvelling at the change in technology. Although I am sure they are not very environmentally sustainable they really do look cool!
So the next time you are staring at the Balinese night sky do not be frightened when you see what you think are UFOs. They are just the Balinese making incredible kites and adding LEDs to their creations. So freaky cool!
Even just for a few minutes to think that something incredible is happening is a blessing! To wonder at life is to believe in Magic and Bali is full of Magic!
Jockey loves Wonder and All of you!
Wonderful post! Yes, yours pictures really make us believe that Bali is full of Magic. Behind this beautiful work there is a hard labour of many as you can see in your photo. I saw it for the first time...glowing kite. I wish to visit Bali to see these luxurious kite. Thanks for sharing this post.
You are most welcome! I have UPvoted and followed you because by your words I think you must be Indonesian! It would be so much better if you updated your profile! =)
What a magical moment with the kites. Did you design your horse at the bottom? I like it. Also are you working with Sam?
Thank you so much for your comment! The horse was designed for me by my friend @ilovechocolate - I will pass on your compliment but please contact her if you want something designed for you! Sam is a very old and beloved friend of mine and now we live next door to each other here on Bali! UPvoted! =) Love from Bali! =)
Don't discount the fact that the Balinese may have seen UFOs in the long past. I've noticed that many ancient cultures would have drawings/paintings depicting people flying in magic carpets, clouds, dragons, bird, etc. etc. - could simply be people depicting what they couldn't understand as UFO objects.
I myself have felt like I've seen UFOs ... twice in one year, while in upstate New York ... I saw a glowing orange orb that zig zag really quickly in the sky and then disappeared. No cloud in the sky, and also no ground lights that shined up. It can unexplainable.
Anyways from the sidetracking, awesome Balinese kites!
Excellent comment mate - I completely agree our ancient mythology is full of these stories! Are they allegory or truths from the past? I believe in Magic and know our ancestors were not fools! Great name and tag line! UPvoted and followed with absolute pleasure! Love from Bali! =)
@jockey What a wonderful and heartwarming Tale. Upvoted.
Thank you very much! Upvoted back my friend! =)
@jockey We need remain informed and concentrate on things that are hidden from the majority.
Thanks for the right publish! Followed.
You are most welcome my Japanese friend! UPvoted! If you update your profile and respond again I will follow you! =)
Omg a UFO! Quick! Use the shittiest quality camera we have!
Lol jk. Nice pics man.
Hahahahaha.... Brilliant! I love your comment! 😆
I am sitting here in my local cafe on Bali as the sun is sliding into the horizon, listening to amazing music and laughing my a*s off at your comment! Top marks my friend!
I am in an even worse position to capture UFOs on camera as I don't carry devices on me. I am worried that the Aliens will track me and beam me up before I have finished expressing the truths I want to get off my chest on Steemit!
Bless your cotton socks! UPvoted and followed with absolute pleasure!
Who makes the party laugh? You do my friend! Booooooom! Did I say UPvoted? I meant UPbeamd!!! x
Edit: [I want to add a very funny photo to this comment but the internet here is poor... I will do it when I get home!] 😮
I'm in Singapore sometimes and have lived in this part of the world since I was young. Lets go for a beer... the drinks are on me as I know I will LMFAO! =)
Haha no worries!
But it's true right?!
There's so many new "evidence" of UFOs on the internet today and the quality is worse than the half-ass bullshit I take with my phone.
This is really nice, the thing is, I think I have actually been abducted by Aliens twice since I've been in Bali.. I'm totally serious, twice! But the first time I saw a kite in the sky in Bali I thought it was a bird, someone said it was a kite, I thought they meant a kite as in the bird and stood in awe for another 5 minutes until the penny dropped
@jockey I like your submit. I have followed you.
If you do see a diamond shaped craft, stay away from those. They are known to emit harmful radiation.
Ahah!
