[00:01.21]All right  so the other day
[00:03.64]I was talking with Michael Stipe
[00:05.58]And we were talking about the very first memory you had
[00:07.19]The very first thing that comes into your head  and dude
[00:10.24]I think I sort of freaked him out a little bit
[00:13.05]Because I told him when I was about three or four years old
[00:16.86]Me and my little brother used to go out into our backyard
[00:19.42]And we'd go up on top of this swingset out there  climb up on top
[00:23.28]It was Mark  and we'd climb up on top of this swingset
[00:26.47]And we could sit up there all night and watch these drive-in movies
[00:31.09]That were about a half a mile away over on this hill
[00:34.89]
[00:35.58]And we'd just sit up there all night and we'd just watch these movies
[00:40.44]Okay  and we had a pretty good view of the sky there
[00:44.19]You could see the sky pretty good as we were watching the movies
[00:48.68]
[00:49.43]Okay  so one night we were out there
[00:52.18]Sitting there watching the movies like usual
[00:54.18]
[00:54.74]And we were watching on the horizon and there were six U F O s in formation
[00:57.81]
[00:59.80]Really  I mean right there in formation
[01:01.68]Six U F O s right there
[01:03.30]Okay  so we're just little kids and it sort of freaks us out a little bit
[01:07.73]So I get down
[01:08.79]I get down off the swingset and I go in to get mom
[01:11.35]Because that's what you do when you're a little kid
[01:13.47]You just go get mom  because weird shit's happening
[01:15.34]So by the time I come back with mom to check it out  they're gone
[01:21.03]
[01:27.07]Okay  and so no one believed me
[01:28.95]Okay  so I'm about ten or eleven
[01:30.70]And me and Mark are playing football in this field by our house
[01:33.15]Okay  and we've had about enough
[01:34.58]We've been playing for a while
[01:36.15]And we're getting ready to go in
[01:38.58]And we're walking up to the house now
[01:40.70]Okay  and this is real  it's the same sort of deal
[01:44.07]You can see the sky pretty good
[01:45.63]And the sun's sort of going down but it's still pretty light out
[01:49.19]
[01:49.81]You know what I mean
[01:51.18]Okay  and we're walking up there in view of the horizon
[01:53.62]And no bullshit
[01:54.30]The same six U F O s are right there in formation
[01:56.92]
[01:57.55]Right there  dude  I know man  right there in formation
[02:01.79]
[02:02.79]But we don't freak out this time
[02:04.85]Okay  because we saw them
[02:06.53]
[02:07.60]So we just sit there
[02:08.90]And they're right there hovering over our heads
[02:10.71]Man  and we sit there  and they're coming closer and closer
[02:15.14]And we're just sitting there
[02:16.96]There we go  we're waiting on them
[02:19.20]
[02:19.95]They're coming toward us
[02:21.39]
[02:22.01]And they made this really weird sound
[02:24.19]
[02:25.00]I'll never forget
[02:26.50]They made this sound
[02:27.81]
[02:28.44]And it sounded like this
