NOTES:

The moon was blood red. Little men painted it with care. If you could callthem men. With my telescopes super high magnification I could make out ingreat detail the spaghetti like fingers that stroked the surface of themare tranquilitatis. The beings and their ship hovered slightly above thesurface so as not to make any impressions in the dust. They would let humansbelieve that the footprints of their astronauts were the only mark of disturbanceon earth's only satellite. One of them turned in my direction and his owllike black eyes looked straight in to the lens of the telescope and in tomy eye. He was aware that I was observing in spite of the distance betweenus. With his thoughts he persuaded me to look away. So urgent was his messagethat I obeyed it. The telescope swung away and was now pointing towardsJupiter. I could not tell Dr. Spanglestein what I had seen because I wasalready forgetting. The being were inducing amnesia. Jupiter and its moonsshone brightly. Four satellites, Callisto, Io, Europa and Ganamide couldbe seen as well as what looked like a fifth moon. Except that it was startingto move. It lit up and sped out of the field of view. When I looked at thesky with my naked eye the sky looked normal again. Dr. Spanglestein pointedto a bright star on our zenith. Through the telescope I could tell it wasa blue giant. It was accompanied by a red dwarf that was too dim too see,but somehow I knew it was there. The star invoked the sensation of familiarityin me, as though I had been to the system surrounding it before. I had thefeeling that this star was the home to something living. It was then thatI was commanded to end my observations. With a feeling of exhaustion Dr.Spanglestein and escorted me to my confines. I would never have been ableto remember all of last nights events in such detail if Dr. Spect had notcalled from the lab and awoken me this morning at such an early hour, allowingme to penetrate my subconscious state due to my drowsiness.
