Roswell, 1947. A radar at the infamous area 51 detected a mysterious craft hovering in the sky.

"Oh no, not again!" Said the man working at the radar. He jumped up from his chair and walked over to the air force commander's office. "Sir, I've detected another mysterious UFO in the area. What do you suppose we do now?" He asked.

The commander didn't believe a thing the man said. "That's ridiculous! Why would you believe that! It's just another weather balloon! Nothing weird as a UFO!" The commander said.

"But sir, we know they're out there! Remember that thing the tanks shot at in Los Angeles five years ago? That's enough proof!" Said the radar man.

The commander still didn't believe him. "That 'Thing' was just a Japanese bomber!" He said. "What you're seeing right now must be one of our weather balloons!"

"Why do we need weather balloons? There's nothing to spy on!"

"Those weather balloons are the ones we launched to detect Soviet A-Bomb tests. You do realize that they may have many more nuclear weapons than we do, right?" Said the commander.

"That ain't true at all!" Said the Radar man. "The Soviets don't have nuclear bombs! That's just an urban myth!"

"So are the UFO's!" Said the commander.

"Well that's more believable than Stalin's stash of nukes, right?"

The commander still tried to convince that the UFO was really a weather balloon and why the military needed them. "The Soviets DO have nuclear weapons! It's too obvious! They rival us, they want to be stronger than us, so they are building more nuclear weapons! They're out of control!"

"Our arms stockpile is out of control!" Said the radar guy. This got the commander very upset.

"That is no way for a soldier to behave! Calling us nuclear freaks! Are you insane?" He yelled.

"It's just the ultimate truth!" Said the radar man. "Now you must believe in the UFO! It really is one!"

"Fine, it's real!" Said the commander sarcastically. "Go out there and see for yourself." Just then the radar guy walked outside the base and went to go see the UFO. "Hahaha, sucker." Said the commander, just before a large CRASH was heard outside, followed by a flash of bright light. Thinking it was an atomic bomb, the commander crouched under his chair. "Remember what they said! Duck and cover!" He screamed in panic.

The radar man had just heard the crash and ran outside the base to see what caused it. A few meters away, he saw that something had crashed to the ground, smoke coming out of the engine. He walked over and took a look.

He saw that what had crashed was indeed a UFO. It was about the size of a car, with half of it buried in the sand. He saw a hatch on the top of the craft. Slowly and carefully, he turned the wheel and opened the hatch up. And there, he saw the creatures inside. "My God!" He said, with a shocked expression on his face.

The commander was still hiding under his chair, waiting for the windows to smash and the building to collapse. But then, the radar guy came running back in. Confused the commander said: "How are you still alive? That was an A-Bomb out there!"

"It wasn't a bomb of any kind." Said the radar guy. "Those were aliens."

"What?" Said the commander. "All right, call the scientists. Now."

The car came to a halt at the gate. The soldiers saw that these were the scientists that had been called on to investigate the mysterious event that had just occurred. "All right, move along" Said on e of the soldiers, and he opened the chain link gates. The car drove into the air hangar, where the craft had been hauled over to by a few soldiers. The hatch of the craft was open, and a large wooden crate with airholes stood next to it. the scientists got out.

"Greetings" Said the air force commander. "Come take a look at these specimens, they're quite peculiar."

"How many of them?" Asked the Ben Daniels, the head scientist.

"Six" Said the commander. "There are six of them."

"Let's have a look" Said Daniels, wiping off his glasses.

The commander said, "They're in the questioning room now, and they're ready for an interview."

The commander then led Daniels into the facility. They walked through a hallway and came to a door. AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY said a sticker on the door. The commander unlocked and opened the door, and Daniels walked in. He saw another door, with a large glass window next to it. behind the glass window was a table.

And there, sitting at the table, ready for an interview, was a little purple flying unicorn.
