Strange Shapes to Come

One night, driving home late I saw something. Something unusual.
It was dark, summer I was driving the long rural road home and saw something come out of the sky and slip into the road in front of me.
It was a black shape like a square, and it slid down and into the road .
It was in the beams of the headlights, just a couple seconds.
I stopped the truck and sat there. Looking.
Like a razor, it had slipped into the road and disappeared.

How could this happen?
This geometry, this invasion.
I've wondered ever since. Wondered if what I'd seen was some form of invasion.

This was years ago now.
It was during the time that the comet had hung nightly in the sky for days and days.
Remember?
That comet that had been in the sky and the group in California had committed suicide thinking that it was time to leave.
Time to go to the hidden mother-ship?

This happened back before 911 and the Iraq war, and the crash of the economy and the rising unemployment, back before the strange weather and the tsunami and the earthquake and the hurricanes and the coming flu pandemic.
This was before all the trouble started and the great disconnect occurred.
This happened before the bailouts and the elections and the destruction of the Constitution and lose of civil liberties.
This was a sign of the beginning of the end.
