flying saucer- No chance of a saucer here, baby. Because IT was triangular, and its top angle sort of inverted in pulses, so that overall it appeared to be diamond shaped. At that moment in my astonishment, we could hear a "wind" coming, and it moved past us like a tangible magnetic field, rustling the pine trees around us so much that some cones and branches fell on us, The two firm hands on my shoulders tightened, warning me not to move in pure physical reaction. At the same time, ruby-red laser-like beams began shooting out from the "thing", which incredibly was now growing even MORE in size - while still stationary in its original position over the lake. One of the twins now TALKED softly, although the sound of his voice was like thunder to me. "Shit! They're enveloping the area! They're going to spot us!" I had no time to wonder about what he meant. Indeed, some of the laser-red beams had begun blasting pine trees! Of all things! At the same time, the "thing" had now increased its size to what may have been about ninety feet wide. The whole of this so far had been accomplished in COMPLETE silence, and even the electric bolts had not "crackled." The blasting of the trees, though, was now audible, while at the same time I could begin to hear low-frequency pulsations. "They're blasting deer or porcupines or something in the forest," Axel explained softly in a calm but tense stage whisper. "The beams sense biological body heat, and they're sure to hone in on us," At that moment, the two hands tightened on my shoulders and I was dragged and practically thrown back down into the arroyo. There was a terrific "pop" where we had been, and some large branches of nearby pines cascaded down on usThat was my last sight of the triangular thing, but in that last moment I could see the WATER OF THE LAKE SURGING UPWARD - like a waterfall going upward, as if being sucked into the "machine!" X had landed rather hard on my butt. But with my feet dragging, the twins pulled me up and ran with me between them down the arroyo a short way where they suddenly flung me like a sack of corn under a rock overhang of some kind-Axel plopped in virtually on top of me, and the four of us huddled packed together like mice in a matchbox.
