It was kinda cool though...
In that mass destruction, a lot of people are gonna die, the world is ending kinda way...
You had to love the special F/X.

I was at my computer, at home, not my apartment or the home my family lives in now, but i still had that "at home" impression. It was pretty late and i was at... get this... the weather channel website. Absolutely excited about what I was reading. That's about the time I started seeing things through my own eyes rather than the distant, "oh look it's me, let's watch" style dream it began as.

The website was saying some pretty weird stuff, referencing things like the % of some weird gases/chemicals in the air(i got the impression they were leftovers from bombings). And that there was something even called a *************(can't remember the word, but it was long and scientific sounding, and made me think of nukes) fallout % that was pretty high. Because of all the factors, the moon was going to appear todrop almost onto the cities, then rise up from them, and be non-visible for the remainder of the night. It was an unusaul occurence and as the weather channel ppl said, worth watching. But due to percentages and stuff, don't go out side if you can help it, because lot of lightning would be produced.

I ran to the front door to see it, and downtown in the city, you saw the moon rising up out of it, like some sort of enormous balloon, 4 or 5 houses could've easily fit inside, probably more. I was getting ready to step outside when you saw this yellow glow around the moon, and lightning started hitting. It went not from cloud to ground, but from the moon to anything. I froze with my hand an inch from the front door's doorknob when one hit the front porch and subsequent ones pounded the brick sides of the house. The moon strangely enough was the shade of orange you see it sometimes, with dark blue places all over it. That was really odd.

I watched the moon rise like that, until i could no longer see it without going outside.

My parents woke up and came out of their room as I was walking down the hall to my room again. I told them what was going on with the moon, and being curious like me, they went to the front door to look. And when they couldn't see it, opened the dfoor, even as I yelled at them not to. One of our cats slipped outside in that moment they froze. I just kinda went wide-eyed and told them about how the lightning had acted and that we ought to get the cat back inside. They agreed, and we all stepped onto the front porch. The moon was gone now.

People we knew were all standiing outside talking, and we just kinda joined them. Some were dressed, but most everyone was in pajamas and robes. I found Jenni and Aaron in the crowd. Jenni had a camera with her, and I had my video recorder, no idea why though. We took a couple of shot of each other and Aaron, and I scanned the crowd.

As we did so, we could see a take off from an airport a little distance away. Just far enough away to make the planes look about the length of a car. It was a mass takeoff. First maybe five jets shot up into the night sky, and right behind them, just this cloud of (i'm guessing) about 10-15 jets and cargo-sized planes (like those bomers from old war movies). Jenni and I, natural started taking pictures and recording it. In our shock we had missed most of the good shots of it. A couple of minutes later a second cloud of planes took off, twice as large as the previous one. Jenni and I got good shots of this one, then as we looked down at our cameras, a weird message came up, then reported status ******* 0. My dad was nearby so we asked him about it and he said someone over at the base must've been tracking for anyone recording the take offs, and it was a good thing that neither of our cameras were status registered.

*wake up*
