Don't Mess With Earth (8 page)

When the United States ends up testing up a
nuclear weapon in the desert of New Mexico, this threw out the
prediction of humans not inventing nuclear weapons or nuclear power
until the end of the twentieth century. The next question was whom
would the Americans use it on, Tokyo or Berlin? Berlin made more
sense, with it being easier to fly to than Japan, but the Germans
surrendered after a massive invasion by the Allies, so the nukes
wouldn’t be used on them; however, the apparent logistics of nuking
the Japanese seemed nearly impossible for the current state of
technology on Earth. Japan was further than any American bomber
could fly, and it could be quite dangerous to any naval ship to
carry a nuke and then be attacked, because it could go off. The
Americans though, seemed to like pulling off the impossible,
because they managed to drop two bombs on Japan within a week,
causing the Japanese to surrender. After those two failed
predictions, the Terrans decided it would be best to end the
predictions and stop underestimating this current generation of
mankind.

After the war, the United States and the
Soviet Union entered a state of cold war between the two
superpowers and both started testing bigger and more advanced
atomic bombs, underground, in the Pacific, and the frozen continent
of Antarctica. The thought never occurred to the Terrans that the
Ragnor would return to Earth when one of their ships detected the
energy pulses given off by these bombs. The Ragnor sent two scout
ships so that they could search the Earth and find the locations of
nuclear weapons laboratories. As one of the Ragnor ships flew over
North America, mainly over the United States, people on the ground
begin claiming they were seeing flying saucers. The cloak of the
Ragnor ships’ was making it appear that the ship was a flying
saucer, because apparently the cloak was not very effective inside
of Earths’ atmosphere, and not only that, but the United States
Army was able to track the ship on radar because of the flaw in the
design of the alien ship. As the ship flew across the country, air
bases sent out P-51 fighters to try to intercept the fast moving
craft; some people on the ground even attempted to shoot down the
Ragnor ship with rifles and shotguns, which was not in any way
effective.

The alien ship stopped and hovered over Los
Alamos, New Mexico, when the Ragnor detected a high amount of
radiation in the area. Nearby, at the Roswell Army Air Field, the
control tower picked up the ship on radar, the pilots were called
to scramble their fighter aircraft, and intercept the bogey. A few
minutes later, a P-51 pilot by the name of Chuck Yeager intercepted
the Ragnor ship, made a few circles around it to check out the
ship, tried to communicate with the ship, and then contacted flight
control in Roswell, “Flight Control, this is Yeager, I’ve
intercepted the bogey. It definitely looks like nothing I’ve ever
seen; all attempts to contact the craft have failed. I am now going
to try to shoot the unidentified flying object down. I will keep
you informed, Yeager out.”

The Ragnor were not paying attention to the
human aircraft flying around their ship, since they obviously
thought they were invisible to the humans, until a hail of aircraft
bullets hit the ship. They attempted to leave the area since they
had no weapons on these scout ships, but whomever the human pilot
was, seemed determined to shoot them down. The other Ragnor ship
was contacted and informed that the one in North America was being
shot at, so the other one was supposed to immediately leave Earth,
their secret cover now blown. Yeager was wishing he had some
missiles on his plane, but, unfortunately for him, guided missiles
for aircraft were in the planning stages, so he kept shooting at
the UFO. One of his bullets must’ve hit something important,
because the alien ship started having smoke pour out of it, so
Yeager targeted the area. The alien ship flew north briefly, then
plunged to Earth outside of Roswell, as Yeager pursued it all the
way. The ship crashed, leaving debris all over the place, Yeager
then contacted Roswell, “This is Yeager, the UFO is down, repeat
the UFO is down. It has crashed outside of Roswell and there’s a
visible plume of smoke coming from the crash site. I suggest
someone contain the site immediately. Over,”

“This is Roswell; we have personnel being
sent to the crash site to clean it up as we speak. Thank you,
pilot, for your efforts at taking down the UFO. Over and out.”
responded the control tower at Roswell.

Soldiers swarmed the crash site twenty
minutes later, picking up debris and cordoning off the area. A
farmer, whose land this was that the Ragnor ship crashed on, was
standing near the remains of the crashed ship with a shotgun in his
hands, waiting for whatever it was that was inside the ship to come
outside, even though he was frightened to death it was something
that may kill him. An Army officer approached him, and said, “This
site is off-limits to civilians, you need to leave.”

“This is my land; you can’t just take it away
from me. How about you get this here wreckage off of my land, you
pay me not to talk, and I won’t be any trouble at all to the
government.”

The officer thought about it for a few
seconds, and then replied, “Ok, you will have to sign a
confidentiality agreement to never reveal what you’ve seen here
today. If we ever find out that you went to the press and told them
you saw aliens or an alien spacecraft, then the government will
seize your property and make you go away. Is that crystal
clear?”

“Clear as a bell, sir.” then the farmer
sarcastically saluted the officer and walked away.

An Army engineer found a hatch on the alien
spacecraft, so he and a few others pried it open, and carefully
made their way inside. The technology they were looking at was
beyond their level of experience, so none of them knew what to make
of it, but they found the control center of the ship, and found
four tall, bluish looking aliens. Three of them were obviously
dead, while one appeared unconscious, so medical staff were called
in and the aliens were all removed to a specially set up hangar at
the base in Roswell, along with the ship itself. The three dead
aliens were put in the morgue so that they could be looked at later
on and dissected, while the unconscious one was sent to a special
medical unit set up inside of the hangar. The base commander called
President Truman about the situation, who had been informed about
the people who witnessed a flying saucer around the nation.

“I will be there tomorrow to look over the
situation, General. I’ve ordered certain measures to be taken to
get these flying saucer stories out of the newspapers and to
convince people what they saw was not what they think they saw.
I’ve also been in contact with the Soviets, who also shot down an
alien craft of their own, but no aliens survived the crash, at
least that’s what they say. I currently have more pressing matters
to attend to General, so good afternoon, and I’ll see you
tomorrow.”

The next morning, newspapers around the
country had articles making fun of the claims that people saw
flying saucers. One man, who had tried to shoot down the Ragnor
ship with his shotgun when it flew over his house, was told by the
government to show the rest of America that what he actually shot
at and what was found in his yard was a twenty inch saw blade,
which the government said he allegedly claimed to be a flying
saucer. Another article had a scientist claiming all he saw were
flying cups, dishes, and the like; those were the flying saucers
everyone claimed to see, there was no such thing as aliens. Others
claimed they were just playing pranks, there was no alien
spacecraft, and it was just for fun. At first, officers at Roswell
Field said it was some sort of craft that had crashed, but, then
they issued a press release the next day saying that a weather
balloon failed, had crashed on some farm land outside of town, and
the bodies were actually test dummies testing the upper atmosphere.
The farmer and a few newspapers that the General called up even
backed the claim. President Truman arrived in Roswell shortly
before noon and went directly to Hangar 18, the site of the alien
ship and live alien.

Truman was escorted into the hangar and the
first thing he saw was the alien ship. Even though it was damaged,
the ship itself was still mostly intact. He walked around it for a
few minutes, inspecting the ship, and then asked, “Does the Army
Air Force have any plans to rip this apart and use the technology
for ourselves?”

“We do, sir. The plan is to take apart the
craft and see if we can’t make heads or tails of the technology,
then adjust it for our own use and understanding. I’d like to take
it back to Wright Field in Dayton so we can study the flight
mechanics of this craft and then apply it to our aircraft.”
responded the head engineer in charge of the alien spacecraft.

“No, Wright Field isn’t the location I had in
mind for the ship to be housed and studied. There is a facility in
Nevada that is being secretly built to test all of our newest
technological innovations, code-named Area 51. This ship and its
only alien survivor will be taken there and studied for the benefit
of the American people. Now, where’s the alien?” asked Truman.

Truman was led to the back of the hangar
where the medical unit was set up for the injured alien. Truman was
slightly shocked when he saw the tall, blue, small-eyed alien, who
was conscious and looking directly at the president when he entered
the aliens’ direct field of vision. “Can you communicate with it?”
asked Truman.

“Yes sir, Mr. President. Apparently, the
alien has a sort of translation device imbedded in his vocal chords
and eardrum, so they can understand and communicate with us. Would
you like to ask it something, Mr. President?” asked the medical
technician, keeping a wary eye on the alien.

Yes, of course. Greetings, to you, alien
visitor from another planet. I am President of the United States,
Harry S. Truman. Let’s get to the point; I want to know why you’re
here.”

The alien responded in the mechanical voice
of the translator, “We are here because humans are an inferior
species to us and you make for good experiments. We detected the
energy pulses of your nuclear weapons and wanted to find out what
was going on. You, the Terrans, and all the others are a plague to
the galaxy.”

“You know we will put a stop to your
nefarious schemes, do you not?” responded Truman.

“I doubt it, human. Your species has been
slow to develop; it’s surprising to us that the Terrans come from
your planet, as advanced as they are.”

“That’s the second time you mention Terrans.
Who are they?”

“You will come against them eventually; some
even live and work on this planet. They have been trying to
manipulate the direction of your planet for over a millennium, so
that they can drag you into their war against us. Neither of your
species will succeed.” bragged the Ragnor.

“You don’t know the ingenuity of the American
people, we will find out where your planet is and eventually we
will pay a visit there. We will also root out these Terrans and
give them what for, I guarantee,” then turning to the med tech,
“make sure you find out all you can about its species and how to
figure out the technology on that ship of theirs. Once you are at
Area 51, I authorize you and your team and any future teams to find
out the information we want by any means necessary,” then to the
General, “When I get back to Washington, I will issue the
Majestic-12 Executive Order and authorize everything you need to
get this done, and consider this the highest state secret the
United States has ever had, so that means it is against the law for
anyone with knowledge of this to talk about or refer to this. I
will also inform the Joint Chiefs and the Secretary of Defense that
no President, other than me at the moment, will know about this
until such a time necessary for the President to know the details
and act upon the information. Good day, gentlemen.”

The Majestic-12 were an elite group of men,
six civilians and six highly ranked military men, chosen by Truman
to keep the aliens, Area 51, and everything associated with it a
secret. Truman had James Forrestal, the first Secretary of Defense,
become the head of the entire group, who in turn chose the head of
the Central Intelligence Agency,
Rear Admiral
Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter,
to operate the facility. Others
were given specific tasks to misdirect, misinform, and deny
everything. Maps of the United States were re-drawn, so that it
appeared there was nothing but Nellis Air Force Base in the
vicinity. Some people with special knowledge were also put into
positions at Wright Field, where another Hangar 18 was constructed
to build and test, they hoped, some of the flight technology that
would come from investigating the alien spaceship.

Wright was also where the first stages of
Project Sign, then finally, Project Blue Book would originate.
Project Sign was to investigate any reports of UFO’s, and if
possible, find a reasonable explanation as to what people were
actually seeing, and then deny everything having to do with
investigating reports of UFO’s. Project Blue Book was used to
determine if UFO’s were a threat to national security, see what
could be done to protect the United States from these threats, and
then respond accordingly. Blue Book was also supposed to find and
evaluate any new technology coming from UFO’s, so as to defend the
United States from the Soviet Union, if they ever attacked.
Eventually, both Projects were shut down and all knowledge of both
were disavowed and anyone who found out about it was investigated,
visited by mysterious men in black, and threatened that if they
didn’t keep their mouths shut, they would disappear or be made to
look like they were crazy and saw conspiracies everywhere. Most
cooperated with the secret government agents.
