We were off-roading in New Mexico during a family vacation. It was incredibly dark, I remember the little puffs of grass and plants looked like giant tarantulas in the shadow of the headlights. We were all kind of joking about how close we were to Area 51. The radio stations had all gone to static, so we sat in silence as we bobbed around over the terrain. Suddenly, a light brighter than day filled the car, I squinted out the back window and it was a giant V shape. We couldn’t see anything but the bright lights. My brother and I hunched down to the floor boards to hide… Then my Dad was driving again, and it was pitch black again except for the headlights. My brother and I were sitting in our seats again, and we drove on as if nothing happened. But the clock showed we’d lost about an hour and a half of time, the radio was playing again, and we were facing a main road back to town.
