My wife and I are from Venice Beach California and one time at the beach I saw a small airplane, like a Cessena, towing the strangest looking contraption I ever saw, it was bright green but like a giant tinker toy, it must have been, think in retrospect, have been a very strangely shaped helium balloon but it was bigger than the little plane and it was tow ...[text shortened]... ust what the hell that thing was, a spindally construct with struts hanging out and such, crazy.
Originally posted by @lemondropNot sure if mammatus cloud is common in your parts but it's rare stuff and has an other-worldly weirdness about it, particularly in evening light. Take a look at the images.
is that really the weirdest thing you've seen?
you need to get out more often
Then enlighten us all with the weirdest thing you've ever seen!
In early 1974 I was at a coffeehouse with my friend Kenny. Kenny was a practitioner of the occult and an ex-Satanist who openly discussed his experiences with most anyone who would listen. He was telling me of his "summoning entities" when from the next table a man stood up, glared at him and loudly said "You're full of sh#t". Kenny stood up and stated that he could indeed do as he had said and told the man to just name a place and time and he would do that. The man offered his apartment and now as the time. Kenny, myself, the man and 2 others whom I knew went off to the apartment. At the apartment Kenny struck a meditative pose and after several minutes a greenish, grayish, bluish colored figure of an older man came thru the wall and walked towards me. When it got close to me I freaked out and jumped up and thru it. In a few seconds Kenny was screaming at me that I could have been hurt and at the same time the man whose apartment we were at was screaming at Kenny that this was some kind of a trick.

Originally posted by @caissad4That is pretty weird. I used to have a dog that would scare himself when he'd fart.

Originally posted by @moonbusIt was not made of metal, that much was clear since it was being hauled by some kind of cessna 172 kind of thing although it was clearly putting out close to 100% power. Very odd. I am very good mechanically, that is how I make my living, figuring things out and I could not make heads or tails of just what it was, could have been a half helium filled parade toy for all knew.

But Venice Beach IS a human zoo no doubt about it, that's what I loved about the place. Wife was 4th gen Venesian🙂
