Are we being watched

Young Jerry Adams realized this and wanted to do something positive and daring for his country. He entered the University and ended up with two degrees: one in Avionics and the other in Warfare Electronics. Then, he joined the U.S Air Force. They were more than elated to have this young lad as an officer in the forefront of the country's defense force. Discipline, integrity, duty consciousness, service before self were all there in him. Fighter jets were precision engines whose performances were pushed to the limits. So were the performances of the pilots themselves. They were trained in navigation, piloting, weapon -acquisition and all that. Sometimes, they had to do uncalled for dare-devil duties to save themselves and others. Frankly speaking, most of the time, their lives were at risk. He excelled in studies, sports, and most of all, pilot training and navigation. His father was a Sub. Lieutenant in the Navy and his mother, a teacher. He had one sister (no brothers), Susan who was fond of her heroic brother. Well, to be a fighter pilot in the U.S. Air Force, one should be a hero and an elite one at that. She used to always advise him," Hey Jerry, look after yourself. You are doing a job as good as walking on a tight-rope with a couple of Bengal tigers under it." In hearts-of-hearts, he felt that it was true, but he did not show his reaction. After all, it was sisterly love. It was a similar reaction to his mother and father. The same reaction was shared by his erstwhile girlfriend Marian and other girlfriends. Being a good-looker and a daring guy, they all looked up to him (like Tom Cruise). These fighter planes, F-22 Raptors could do nearly Mach 3 (thrice the speed of sound). With their Thrust Vectoring (swivelling of the jet exhaust), they can go into very sharp turns. When you do such a sharp right-turn, your blood rushes to the left side giving you a blackout. What happens when you do a vertical climb with much acceleration? Your blood tends to rush down. With all these involvements, you have to keep your missile & g*n firing finger at thee ready. With all that, you will have to keep your presence of mind and sanity as well. It was 8 yrs. after recruitment, that he came to a sudden realisation that how true his dear ones' words were. It was an out-of-this-world encounter which he faced solely alone, recently. There was no one available to give evidence; only his beloved fighter plane, the clouds, the sky, and the deep blue sea with its Great White sharks. Thinking about it still gave him the jitters. The US and other advanced nations have, of late, come out of their slumber of keeping this vital information under the blanket "classified".It looks like they have realised their stark blunder.Sightings of UFOs and all types of "space jokers" or "space goons" have been sighted from all over. Among  the humans who have sighted they were: people loitering on the ground, passenger pilots, Air Force & Navy fighter-pilots, Astronauts and many more. They were requested or, sometimes, ordered to turn a blind eye to these sightings or emotionally upsetting situations. Much of this tom-foolery was done by governments and the politicians within. We were fooled by our governments and politicians on the ground, as well as by those "space jokers"or "space goons".They see to be running circles around us,  and the whole time making clowns of us. Of late, all types of talks, statements, photographs and videos have come to the surface. They comprise: oval or egg-shaped vehicles (with no control fins at all) flying at break-neck speeds through the air, going through erratic flight paths that defy gravity and all laws of motion, that will make the great scientist, Sir Isaac Newton, turn in his grave. One Navy F-18 pilot described a massive saucer-shaped vehicle, hovering just above the ocean waves. Suddenly, it went into an oscillatory movement, and before you can say "Jack Robinson" dived into the turbulent water and was gone--a helicopter, a hovercraft and a submarine, all three in one; all clear on the video. In Kentucky, a man-like a 8 foot gigolo, with a weird face and attire, comes running out of a bush as if the devil's mother-in-law was chasing him. Then, he suddenly dashes into another bush far away, and seconds later, an egg-shaped object takes off without any sound or any exhaust; all Charlie Chaplin stuff, Thanks to our impotent world leaders and politicians, we are forced to watch these dramas. A U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor fighter aircraft takes to the skies from the Edwards Air Force Base, Nevada. The plane is armed to the teeth, the pilot, Flight Lt Jerry Adams is quite confident of his warplane. Its arsenal included : Amram 120 infra-red long-range air-to-air missiles Falcon semi-active homing anti-aircraft missiles Two five. zero rapid-fire cannons An all-weather powerful Radar that can look ahead for hundreds of kilometers Time : afternoon 2.30 p.m.. Speed: Mach 2 Visibility: good All systems: go Suddenly, as if from a bolt from the sky, the pilot is jolted in his seat by the appearance of an oval-shaped object crossing his flight path a mere 4km.s away. It's hyper-speed and its erratic ways of movement took him completely by surprise and awe He not prepared for this sort of aerial display. Anyway, out of instinct and years. of training, he tried to get 2 of his Amram missiles locked on to the target, but, everything seems to have gone haywire. Flight Lt. Jerry Adams of The Sixth Fighter Squadron looks on helpless. What the heck is going on? All governments around thè world seem to keep mum on the subject. The U.S. says, "It is classified information ". Are we being monitored by some beings that happened to have appeared from nowhere? Are these goons capable of trekking millions of space miles in a matter of minutes? Are they planning the piracy of our good, old earth? Will they take a fancy to human and dog meat? All weird thoughts seem to race through the pilot's mind. Eventually, he reached for the Scrambler and reported his encounter to the Air Base. The Scrambler sprang to life. "Roger got you loud and clear", it said, "Take it easy. The NORAD satellites are monitoring the whole of the Atlantic and the Pacific. The Navy high-fliers from the U.S.S. Nimitz is on red alert. It is, "Shoot on sight! Do return to ase now." The pilot gained height, and from 30 km., observed the scenario below. He was watching for smoke plumes from the intruder craft, but no tell-tale evidence showed up. Only, the banshee howl of his jet was barely audible. He climbed down and put the powerful jet into a right turn."Is this the beginning of the end of the end of a beginning ? " he mused. So much so for that.Now, it was all over.The scenario left a memory that was difficult to erase, and his mind was filled with awe .The world has its own problems.It looked as if the whole human race is divided into a mess that was created by humans only.These problems came into being through man's own making.No God, devil or cragon created them. Despite all religions, hatred jealousy, rivalry were the order of the day.Those led the human race to riots, skirmishes and ultimately, to wars.  Now, the whole mankind is involved in a jumble of wars.The parties involved do not know who is hitting whom.It has become a free for all now.It looks as if Jesus Christ, Allah, Lord Buddha could not restrain the world masses. It has become a competition all over : to become powerful and economically sound, to develop Megaton-powerful nuclear bombs that kill as many people as possible, to undercut and out-run other companies, to out-smart other nations in education and sports and so many unwanted competitions.When you consider one country, there is so much competition within the country and without (outside) the country, with other countries Everyone wants to be 'super' and everycountry wants to be 'super'. Now, where is this 'super" rivalry going to lead us to? into disaster and nowhere.Virtually,  we all are indirectly trying to commit suicide.In the guise of blasting other nations with Nuclear Megaton bombs and. missile warheds, we are trying to kill ourselves. Lately, the Russian Air Force blasted the most powerful Nuke bomb ever tested.It was a 50 Megaton (packing the power of 50 million tons of TNT (Tri Nitro Toluene).It was released 5 kms. above ground ,with a parachute attached and was exploded nearly 1 1/2 kms. above ground level. Why didn't they drop it freely? It was because they did not want to kill the2 pilots of the 2 planes, by the air-blast that ensued.They wanted the pilots to get the hell out of that 'ground zero' (the blast point), to avoid the thermal blast that followed.They wanted the pilots of the very fast flying jets to be hundreds of kms. away when the blast occured.Such was the magnitude of the explosion, that it was clearly registered in most of the seismometres around the globe. As Jerry Adams was pondering over these matters, there were so many things happening all over.The Iranians were pondering to attack a military base in Iran, Donald Trump was back at his quixotic deeds swearing and muttering nonsense that he was really committed to buiding that (wall of his) right round the United States .The Chinese were strengthening their bases in South East Asia and around Singapore .They were installing a missile base on an island just off Hong Kong. It was for their Feng anti-ship missile which could hit American aircraft- carriers and destroy the allied harbours like Okinawa and Guam at 3000 kms. range.There were U.S. military personnel in both these locations .Flight Lt. was seconded for duty at Okinawa , Japan.He had to fly from the U.S.. Chinese fighter-pilot Miss Sherry Luan was destined to be stationed in a Chinese Air Force base in an island base in the South China Sea.She was smart, intelligent and had all the good looks .She had to lead an F-9 Fighter Sqadron.She was under instructions (from Air Force Intelligence) to fly to Japan, undercover, during the weekends, and collect as much data as possible about the dreaded U.S. Air Force fighter, the F-22. In Okinawa, that the evening, at a beer-garden hotel, Lt. Jerry Adams was enjoying his drink.They were instructed to keep the least company, and that was for security reasons.He was in deep thought and so many thoughts were crossing his mind : his fiancee , his parents , his sister and his Air Force and civilian friends .He was in civvies and no one knew his identity. What would each one of them be doing now?  The world was going through an all-tough time now.Wars, bomb-blasts and murders all over. No one seemed to know who the friend or for was. No good news seemed to be in sight.The world; in an utter mess.And, there was a talk of a new deadly epidemic breaking all over the world. The worst recollection was that of the adventure in his F-22 plane. It sent a chill up his spine. He was thinking, "Those were the days, in their teens, when they were happy; all gone now!" Suddenly, a man turned up and sat down on the seat opposite his.No, it was a woman. she was of middle height and stature.Jerry Adams gave her casual look, and she gifted him with a pleasant smile.There was a tinge of a Chinese appearance in her and she wasattractive, wearing short hair.She looked  all a lady.Instantly, the discipline implanted in him by the United States Air Force took effect."Treat a lady with respect and show good manners "it said, "be an officer and a gentleman. But, unfortunately, there are no ladies these days: only women. The era of ladies is long gone. Now, the world is filled with women : women who are up to no good, women who plant bombs, women who are suicide-bombers, women who take undue advantage of men, women who make fools of men, women with extreme shady characters competing to become Miss World, Miss Universe and Mrs World and what not and showing their vulgarity around, women who blackguard and harass other innocent women ( and children) and women who try to bully and make "hen-pecked husbands" out of their spouses and emasculate them. It is an accepted norm, "a woman means trouble." The young man looked at the lady seated next to him and returned the smile. She was wearing a skirt and blouse that matched her, but, the sixth sense told him that she must be a member attached to the military. He had moved around with so many men and women in uniform, as to make out a 'military personality' at the first sight."Good evening !" she said, "how are you? " She seemed to speak good English and he responded to her wish. In a short time, they started a gradual conversation, with each hiding the name and the identity. After some time, they were talking freely avoiding any ' military conversation" . Jerry Adams had an after-thought whether this girl was guessing as to "from where he was? what he was doing in Okinawa,? whether he was an intelligence or a military officer?" He had a second look at her secretly.There was no tell-tale evidence of a suspicion.She, in turn was impressed by this tall, handsome young man who was so gentle in his ways.He would attract any girl. As fate had it, little did he know that this girl sitting beside him was none other thann Group Captain Sherry of the F-9 Strike Wing of the Chinese Air Force, based in Xunon Island in the South China Sea and that she was gathering information about the very plane he was piloting, the dreaded F22 Raptor. How they met, by coincidence or pre-planned, only God knew There friendship grew and it was a casual one.He kept his contact with his loved ones through a Blackberry. Also ,  they both enjoyed their conversation amidst sips of beer.Days were casually turning into weeks.One evening, he noticed a stunt and short man casually observing them on and off.He was wearing a raincoat and a hat.He wore dark glasses, and his face was not clearly discernible .When he arrived and when he went, he was not bothered.He did not bring him to the attention of the Chinese girl. One day, when the man was leaving, Lt. Jerry Adams noticed that he had a strange gait in his walk, and that he moved faster than what he seemed to move.Two weeks later, they were walking out of the hotel, he saw a dark plane taking off from among the trees.No, it was not a plane.It was rather egg-shaped.The hair on his neck crawled ! That plane or whatever it was brought back nauseating memories of that happening in mid-ocean nearly one month back.There was no noise when that thing took off!  Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The girl sensed his change instantly. "Anything wrong?"she asked casually." "No", he said.But there was a tremor in his voice, which he utmost tried to suppress. " Earlier I was watched .Now, I am being followed." he muttered to himself.What was he to do? Was he to tell the Okinawa Base authorities? Most likely, they will not believe him. Besides, there was no evidence. He did not divulge this to the girl.She was utterly helpless and innocent. Beside, she might panic  ! Time passed and the stranger did not appear any more .He must have left our earth and gone on interplanetary reconissance. So thought Jerry Adams.But, when they met a week later,  she told him that China Airforce was testing a dark egg-shaped stealth bomber and that she had seen it from a distance, One night it had taken off and it had been having a fantastic pick up speed never seen in a plane before."It is classified information to all from the Chinese Air Force." she had said. "Match over" and "It is kaput for us. " he thought. "Even she is being followed!" From now on, he was on red alert.Next weekend, the stunted man was not there.After some moments, a very tall man , with dark glasses arrived and took a seat behind them.They did not pay him any attention. At the moment of going to the cashier to pay the bill, Jerry paid him a casual look. He was rather tall, and was wearing a short.sleeved shirt .Around his neck, he was wearing a necklace made of white beads.Just passing him, Jerry got a stench of rotting meat.It was unbearable.Anyway, he wanted to get the photograph of the man.Secretly, he pulled out his Blackberry phone, and took a snap of the man and returned to his seat.At the table, he zoomed in on the photo and enlarged it.Jesus Christ ! the necklace was not made If white pearls ! It was made of dried human finger bones! So, this man was a man-eater, and he was eating a piece of human flesh as if it were chewing gum ! The thought made him sick with fear.It was as good as having a Bengal tiger near them! He was all out to get out of this place, and get out fast.He called Sherry and they both were hurrying out.As he was passing the man, he growled like an animal, grabbed ...
