Alien Invasion: and the origins of mankind

about ourselves”

  Bobby looked at Charles “Did the aliens ever abduct you at some point in your life?”

  “I was called upon as a child for a greater purpose. I was abducted from a condominium in a large city. Strange isn’t it. The one place you would think aliens would never abduct someone, but they have the ability. They told me I had a job to do, that I was called upon to help make the world a safer place. There are people in the world who feel as though they have a calling. As though they were meant for something more out of life. What those people don’t know is, aliens at some point in their life have abducted them, since they can’t remember the abduction they feel as though they’re calling is from a higher religious power. I became a scientist and worked my way into the General’s UFO program, with a little help from the gray aliens. In fact all the scientists who worked with the General were called to be there, of course, the General never knew this”

  “But if the General is powerful and no one knows about his operation, who are the men taking the General away now?” Sam asked

  Charles laughed a little “There’s always a secret society bigger then the next one. The weapons used here today and the true location of the desert base can never be made public, this whole incident must be covered up. The world can never know the truth about what happened here”

  Timmy was confused “But didn’t the aliens tell us, we have to let the world know about this?”

  “Yes they did,” Charles answered, “They also said it won’t be easy. You see kids; I now have a new assignment. I have to become your enemy from this point on. I will become your biggest skeptic. For every interview you hold telling the world about this, I’ll be right there saying it never happened, even though we both know it did. It’s all apart of the master plain. Like the aliens said, there can be no physical evidence this time, only your word. The physical evidence will come later. The scientists who came here this weekend must now take away all the vehicles and weapons and hide them. In the next few months you kids will go public with this incident, the public will question your story, they will ask for evidence, and there will be none. Some people will believe you, others won’t, but over time the public will get used to the idea of aliens because of your hard work. We must introduce the idea of alien life slowly. If you tell your story, too many people will believe it right away, believe it or not, this is not a good thing. Why? We can’t have the public believing every story right away because if someone tells the world aliens are evil, everyone will believe it right away. That’s not good, but if I argue against you, the public will have to question and think for themselves. This is what we want. This way people cannot be manipulated into a lie. This will teach them to question every bit of evidence they come across in their lives. They will have control over there own opinions”

  “Won’t the General tell everyone about the secret base and how you work with aliens?” Timmy asked

  “Yes, he will tell the truth and end up sounding crazy. We will do everything we can to make him look irrational, so the world will never find out the location of the secret base. Besides, who would believe his story, it sounds too implausible to be true. He did such a great job over the years at keeping his operation so secretive, it will now work against him”

  “There’s no way this could be covered up, it’s too big,” Bobby said, “Look at all the people here in town who witnessed the flying saucers”

  Charles looked to Bobby “People here will question themselves over time. Some people in your town will deny anything ever happened because they don’t want the world laughing at them and calling them crazy. Others will deny because it causes anxiety to their sense of reality.”

  “But the world has to believe us.” Sam said, “This will go down in history as the greatest event ever”

  Charles nodded “There have been events in the past just as big, in which the world questions. Many decades ago a saucer crashed in the desert. The military even announced to the world they had discovered a UFO in the headlines of a newspaper, but it was covered up. the public was told it was a weather balloon. Now people question if it really did happen. In the end you can cover up anything. The public even doubts the Wow signal, how much more clearer could that have been”

  The kids looked at each other confused.

  “Were do we go from here?” Timmy asked

  They stood in silence.

  Three months later

  On a warm summer’s day, the kids sat on the swings slowly rocking back and forth in the playground across from the grade school. There heads down each feeling depressed, a few cars passed by on the street.

  “I can’t believe the newspaper reporter laughed off our story” Timmy said disappointed. “I really believed going into the city and telling our story to reporters would’ve shown the world what happened here. Instead the reporters got up and walked out halfway through the interview without recording a word we said. One reporter said we should take our made up story to a comic book convention. How can the world not believe what really happened here? This is the biggest story of all time. We were taken on board a giant saucer and told the origins of mankind and no one believes us. Every newspaper in the city said they would never print such a silly story. Telling us its sounds like the plot of a low budget B movie.”

  Bobby nodded “The newspapers would rather focus on movie stars and celebrities wannabes”

  “The only people who would listen to us were the tabloids. They had no problem printing our story.” Kyle crumbled.

  “They print the truth on UFOs” Sam said.

  “The problem is no one believes the tabloids,” Timmy said

  “I wanted this to reach the mainstream media” Sam said in frustration “I wanted the world to hear and believe every word, but the reporters told us to run along because they don’t publish made up stories from kids. We sit here knowing the truth about aliens while the world goes on caring about boring things like money and cars. Why’ll the whole time there are planets in are universe with life.”

  Kyle agreed, “Everyone is to busy caring about their bank accounts then to look up in the sky and wondering”

  “How can we convince the world we were on board a flying saucer?” Bobby said, “We were given the knowledge of the creation of man and no one will listen. What we know should be taught in schools”

  “The aliens did tell us the road would be hard,” Sam said

  “Even are own parents are telling us maybe its better not to talk, and to honest I think even they question us” Kyle said

  “How fast the world would stop fighting wars if they knew the universe had more to offer” Timmy said “We would stop worrying about boring things like TV or cars or even what our neighbors think about us?”

  The kids lowered their heads and sat in silence for a few more minutes, as the playground swings rocked back and forth.

  Sam looked up and noticed a young boy walking across the grass from the parking lot towards them.

  The young kid with red hair, wearing a baseball cap, spoke in a quiet voice “Are you the cry wolves gang?”

  Sam nodded slowly, too depressed to look up or act happy.

  “I believe you” he boy said softly.

  The other kids slowly looked up at him.

  The young boy took out a rolled up magazine from his back pocket “I read your story in the tabloids. We came from the city to met you”

  “We?” Kyle asked

  “Yes, all of us.” The boy smiled “There are hundreds of us who meet once a week on-line to talk about what happened to you. We know the story sounds impossible to believe, but we do believe. We started a website to get your story out to more people, spread the word, so to speak. The members are located everywhere around the world. All different age groups and backgrounds, its not a website for one type of religion or culture. Its open to everyone, it unites us all. A few of us traveled here today to meet you. The other kids are in the car by the parking lot, there a bit nervous to come over and talk the four k
ids who had an amazement moment to talk with an alien, but we would like to hear the full story from the actual cry wolves gang so we can post it on-line, if you don’t mind”

  The four boys looked at each other.

  “It’s a start,” Timmy said.

  20 years later

  Inside a TV studio sound stage, bright, warm lights lit up the set. Cameraman Cliff Mills pointed camera one at the black rectangle table. Four chairs where on one side and a single chair on the other. The side with four chairs had the guests already seated.

  Luke Jones the host of “Talk Now” walked onto the set and took his seat across from the guests.

  Linda the makeup lady checked over his hair one last time as the director behind the camera informed everyone there was thirty seconds to live air.

  Twenty-five seconds later Luke looked into camera one, paused for a moment and smiled as the red light came on. “Hello everyone I’m Luke Jones your host for Talk Now, thank you for tuning in. Where we bring you insight into today’s biggest headlines. Our guests tonight are four members of the cry wolves’ gang who were in the town of Springbrook Gardens twenty years ago when according to them, aliens visited their town. It’s a story, which has become legendary. Each man is a respected scientist in he’s field who’s written many books on the subject of aliens and life outside earth. They are here tonight to discuss their newly published book, which
