That old fella don't know how to use the satellite. Didn't know much about it. Never seen a UFO or alien. But
he seen something going past. He saw that comet coming (Haley's Comet). Some old people thought it was the
end of the world.
It scared them.
These days we got satellite to track anybody. Satellite to track our fish, stealing fish from our sea.
They are like the spider web, the connection between satellites. The blue stuff is telling people, tracking people
where they are these days. Tracking anybody.
Wish that old fella woulda been alive to tell 'em 'That Haley's Comet'. Old people passed away not knowing
what was that light.
