a tale from kedo1981
I’ll tell you, what this whole alien thing has really messed us all up and by all I mean all, the whole GD human race.
America, Europe, Asia, Arabs, Jews, Catholics, Protestants, Republicans and Democrats, it’s a combination slap in the face, a kick in the balls and a great big cosmic F U.
I mean damn; the stinkin space ship lands right in the middle of New York city in broad day light right in front of at least a 50 thousand people and untold numbers on tv smack dab in central park, right big as you please in the lawn.
Looked like a huge black manhole cover about as big around as the dome of the federal capital building, so smooth that you had to really stare at it to see it.
And you could see damage, a hole had been blow right through it, kind of out near the edge (and yet it didn’t really have edges) where you could see a kind of glow and some times bright blue sparks and if you looked just right, tilted your head and squinted a little you could make out a kind of bubble that incased the damaged area.
We were so excited at first, the whole planet just stopped in its collective tracks.
Of course the military had to butt the hell in and roped off the whole park, then President Obama and Vice President Swartzinegger had come down and show their asses. They acted all ceremonious and made speeches of greeting and peace and universal brother hood and you know what happened, nothing, the ship was dead silent, didn’t make a peep. Next came the Pope, the secretary of the United Nations, the King, the Duke, The Prince, movie stars, sports icons, and lots of strippers showing their boobs; nothing.
In fact no matter what we did it still ignored every attempt to communicate. At first it was thought the crew was dead, seeing as how it was damaged and maybe it killed them all. But after a month of it just setting there, those who kept an eye on it, began to see nearly invisible black shapes and when camera footage was reviewed frame by frame these shape could “almost” be seen, they had been moving out side the ship all along. They were in fact, just ignoring us.
I went down a few times to just look, got pretty close too, it was a about 3 months after it landed and some of the novelty and fear had worn off, it just sat there, black, silent, boring.
You could tell the damage was being repaired, it slowly got smaller everyday and then a slight hum could be heard/felt.
It sat there like a lump of black, blackness, for two hundred a five days, then on a Wednesday, at five minutes after ten AM the dang thing silently popped into the air, it didn’t lift off like you see in the movies, one second it was on the ground the next it was at least one hundred feet above it, (government had high speed video cameras trained on it and it was determined that it took about a hundredth of a second or some crap like that to lift off) then it froze for about 3 seconds, still dead silent, then popped up to several thousand feet and after that it wasn’t seen again.
The whole planet felt like the pimply fat kid with toilet paper stuck to his shoe at a frat party, what the heck was wrong with us, does our breath stink or something?
Most people just want to forget about, me, I’m pissed, who are they to ignore us anyway.
(Urgent report enclosed)
