Bringing Columbia Home, by Michael Leinback. I've always been fascinated by this terrible accident due to something that happened to me a few days before it happened.
For many years I've felt that God sends me signs, however, I'm not that bright that I can translate them until the whole thing is revealed and I can say...Oh yeah. Sort of like Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt patterns. I should have been able to figure it out, but didn't.
I was an Amish driver back then. I picked people up to take them to work and back. On this morning I could see some jet contrails through the trees. As I progressed I could see that the full moon was just about to set in the West. Over the face of the moon were two contrails making a perfect X. Like "no parking" or "no smoking". I could not have been more perfect. I thought ok....No what??
I guess I did not realize that we had a shuttle up there at the time, and the announcement that some foam had fallen off the booster rocket and hit the shuttle had bypassed me. No one else saw that, as my rider did not emerge from her house until this had disappeared. I had no camera, no way to document it. It was before 8 in the a.m. because I had to have this lady at her job at 8.
I had no idea what the message was or who it was for. The shuttle came down on Feb 1, 2003 and was launched on January 16, 2003. I'll have to look on a calendar from that era and see when the Saturdays were, because my X over the moon was a Saturday.
I never tried to tell anyone in authority about this. I think that only the quilt board would believe me. We are still trying to escape the bonds on gravity so I don't think we have given up space travel completely.
You wanted to know what I was reading. That book is not as detailed as I had hoped.
