Personal Narrative: Ancient Aliens

Improved Essays
When we first met George, my stepfather, he reminded us of a big gorilla. He often would watch the history channel and ramble on to us about the shows, such as American Pickers, Pawn Stars, his favorite Ancient Aliens, and what he thought actually happened. A great deal of these conversations would cause him to talk about his brother, who passed before we met him. Aliens were the main topic of these conversations where he would bring up his brother.

    Have you ever looked into the night sky and wondered, what beauty lies just beyond the reach of the naked eye? There is so much beauty out there to be seen, not with the naked eye but, rather with the use of a powerful telescope. Most people do not have the chance or opportunity to experience and view the stars and planets that surround us.

    Excuse me while I kindly blow your ''90's kids genders'' out of the water, unceremoniously bury it, and tap dance on its unmarked grave while singing a lovely tune. I have held my tongue this whole time and I feel that I can no longer sit by while this bombards my timeline; in doing so I have been a bystander to this hatefulness and I can not bring myself to be one anymore.

    It’s amazing how the same stars we look at today are the same ones, more or less, that all humanity has gazed upon. Plato, Queen Mary, Martin Luther King—the list is endless but these great historical figures have all seen the balls of light and gas that shine in the sky tonight. That’s all they are, floating matter in a vast, unknown space we call “outer space” simply because it resides outside the front door. Space. It envelopes us like an old, soft blanket with moth bites here and stains there.…
