The breeze was coming up midday, but that didn’t deter an odd horseshoe-shaped blue aircraft.

It looked a bit like an IFO, but bigger, buffer, bolder.

Mehmet was flying this strange craft.

“What is it?” I asked Mehmet.

Mehmet said he wasn’t sure what it was called.

Standing next to him, Rick Carmichael said that it was a VTOT: Vertical Takeoff Thing. I believe that they succeeded in a vertical takeoff, even in the brisk wind.

I thought that Mehmet said it came from Hobby Lobby, but I can’t find anything close in their pictures of aircraft.

Perhaps it’s alien technology.

For the moment, I’ll leave its identity a mystery. If I learn more later, I’ll add a postscript here.

Postscript: He didn’t say “Hobby Lobby.” He said “Hobby People.” It is, in fact, a VQ MDL VTO ARF Electric Vertical Take Off. Now I know why he couldn’t remember the name!
