A childhood belief about i'm different

You know those planes that you see high in the sky on clear, starry nights, and they give off flashing red and blue lights? This could only confuse me--- the stupid and unbelievably gullible little Star Trek fanatic when I was about age 9-10. I was SURE that the plane and it's flashing lights was USS Enterprise from far far away!! Being such a fanatical dork, I believed that I was once an honored member on the Enterprise, and for reasons unknown was left behind on a mission, and stranded on earth! (My life sucked at this era in my life anyways) However, whenever I saw a flashing plane go by, i would shout, hoot and holler, and wave my hands in the air like a moron--- hopeful that captain Kirk would see me from way high in the sky. No matter how much my parents tried to disuade me from this bizzar phase, I would just tell myself--- "They're just jealous" Surely they knew of my past "greatness". One day, I got myself embarrased one camping trip when we were in the country in a HUGE field. I saw one of the planes go by again, and this time it was a lot lower to the ground. I started to run after it like I was crazy--- tripping over myself, and yelling at the top of my lungs. I only succeded in falling into a marsh, and getting massive poison ivy. Everyone laughed thier asses of when I said "I was sure Kirk could see me, he was just ignoring me." They still tease me abou it to this day; pointing at flashing planes, and telling me "There's your destiny!!! Go get it!!!! You ARE the space MASTER!!!--- I THINK I CAN SEE CAPTAIN KIRK FROM HERE!!!" They usually get a whack in the groin.
