ufo
i was at the computer when i saw an orange kite rise up very rapidly over the field beside my house. i watched as it hovered at around the level of my house (21st floor) before rising again to what seemed like more than twice that height.
it was the first time i've seen such a powerful attempt at kite-flying in my neighbourhood. usually the people that do it don't even manage 5 stories. might be the wind from the impending storm, i thought.
i then tried to find the pro fellow whom i assumed was doing it from the field, but i didn't see anyone, probably because my view was blocked.
the kite then moved directly away from where i was, before slowly making its way to my right over another block of flats. by this time it was easily 50 floors up and i wondered just how long was the guy's kite-string for it to cover such a great distance.
soon, the kite had moved right-wards way too far for it to be possible that it was flown from the field, but at the same time, it was not possible for it to be from anywhere due to the kite's position and the height of the buildings around here.
for a moment, i considered the possibility that the string had broke and the kite was just being blown away, but then i realised that it would end up like something i saw earlier, newspapers thrashing around in the wind. not something that was obviously in a controlled and gradual movement.
so what the heck was going on? before long, the kite had gone out of view of my window and i had to go into the living room to see it, and soon was totally out of my view. this meant that the kite had made a wide arc of over 180 degrees and counting, and probably covered a lateral distance of over 600m.
no matter how i think about it, it just doesn't make any sense. one possibility was that it was flown from a building, but that's quite impossible judging from the flight path.
another would be that guy was walking his kite like a fecking dog, but that too is rather improbable since he'd have to be bringing his string away from trees and lampposts, both of which are abundant along the only paths available here.
so what the fuck was that? alien spy probe?
