UFO/Alien Connection
Michael Engelbrecht:
You once talked about an experience your sister had, too, an UFO experience. Describe a bit, what happened on that day and how you saw it.
Brian Eno:
Well, it's one of those things that happened so long ago, that I can't really know, whether it was true or not. It's such a vague memory, it almost feels like a dream. You know the way sometimes, you remember a dream as if it was a true event. I have the same feeling about this. And I couldn't sort out whether it was a dream or not. So I wrote to my sister, and she said "Oh no, I remember seeing that as well." So, I still don't know really, whether it was something we imagined, the two of us together (we did a lot of imagining together) or whether it was something that really happened. I tell you, what I think happened (I don't claim that it's true, okay?): It was actually a simple enough thing, we were in the garden, it was twilight, and we saw an object in the sky, which was not an aeroplane. It was a long - sounds strange to say - greenish coloured object with strangely shaped windows. It didn't have round windows, they were actually shaped like television screens. Well, I don't know, I mean... To tell the truth, I don't believe in UFOs. So I find this experience difficult to place.
