CONTINUING ...
I said I didn't know what it was. Maybe a manufacturing mark. Then he started to put the badge in his pocket and I said, "Hey, I need that to get into work!" and he reluctantly gave it back.
Then he produced a small notebook and asked us our names and addresses. We gave them to him as he was writing. Then he stopped and said, "You both gave the same address!"
I said, "Yes, we live together."
"But, you have different names," he says.
I explained that we weren't married. We just lived together.
So, he keeps writing as he shakes his head and says to himself, "They'll never believe this."
So, now I'm wondering WHO will never believe WHAT? A cop doesn't know that some people live together without being married? In frigging California yet? Where is this guy from?
So, now the radio in the cop car starts making some "static" type noises which give the cop a start and he looks around to see what that noise is. Then we can hear a dispatcher's voice talking to somebody. The cop reaches toward the radio, grabs the mic and looks at it and then puts it up to HIS EAR. He puts a microphone up to his ear! Then the radio makes more noise which startles him again and he drops it in his lap. He shyly replaces the mic and looks embarrassed. The dispatcher talks some more and then says, "Ten-four."
I'm trying to make the cop feel more at ease (bizarre in itself) and I ask him, "Say, what does ten-four mean anyway?"
He mutters the term to himself several times but cannot come up with an answer. Finally, I said, "It means OK, doesn't it?"
Then he says, "OK, ... uh, yes it means OK." Obviously, he had no idea what it meant before I told him.
I also asked him something about his car. The engine was running rough and I mentioned it. He seemed a little alarmed at this and I suggested he have his mechanic take a look at it. He didn't seem to know what I was talking about but agreed.
At no time did he mention anything about the UFO and neither did we. Strangely, we had both forgotten about it while the cop was there. He finally indicated he had no more questions and we proceeded to walk home. He passed us on the road, drove to the end and turned off. As soon as he was out of sight we both stopped in our tracks and looked at each other in amazement. WTF just happened? The whole thing -- the UFO and the "cop" just hit us both at the same time and we were totally boggled.
Well, that's it and I promise it is all true.
