Alien Invasion: and the origins of mankind

his every word,
Sam listened to the story and was amazed how the story sounded just like the story he read about on the Internet.
“You said they had big black oval eyes. That’s what we saw in the forest. What else do you remember about there appearance?” Timmy asked
Officer Reed paused for a moment and looked out the side window “They were grey in color, as though there skin had never seen the sun like ours. They were thin and short maybe four feet in height, their heads where larger at the top then the bottom, but it was the large black eyes that never blinked that creped me out the most. They just stood in front of me and never looked away”
Timmy looked over to Sam and whispered. “It has to be the same ones we saw in the forest. Who knows maybe the same alien itself. These aliens are all over the place. I bet they been coming to earth for decades”
Bobby looked at the officer “We know their plain, those creatures you saw are going to attack our town after the variety show. We need to stop them”
Officer Reed smiled “Yes, I can imagine they’re kind attacking earth one day. We’ll talk to the General who’s just outside of town along side the highway out by the train tracks”
Timmy crossed his arms and whispered, “I don’t believe there was a train accident. They said that to stop us from leaving town”
They drove along passing the trees that reached out over the road making it feel like a tunnel. The longer they drove along the thicker the branches became, cutting off the light making it feel like night.
After a few minutes of driving they reached the highway were the sun came back out.
Sam and Timmy looked across the highway at the train tracks looking for the so-called derailment. When neither of them saw anything that remotely looked like a derailment they look at each other and shook their heads in disgusted.
They drove along the highway for a few minutes and came upon Operation Stand Ground. The kids quickly moved closer to the car windows and looked in astonishment at all the military vehicles parked along side the highway one after the other.
“Look at this place” Kyle said while giving his head a shake “Look at all the weapons on the back of the jeeps. They weren’t on the jeeps when they came into town on Thursday. These soldiers have been busy”
“It looks like a military outpost you’d see in a science fiction movie,” Bobby said.
Sam looked over to the officer Reed “We have no time to waste, we need to locate our families right away. Afterwards we need to find the General. We only have a few hours before the attack begins”
The sheriff laughed a little to himself “Oh you don’t have to worry, the General knows all about the aliens attack. He won’t let the aliens harm anyone”
Sam sat up straight “The General has plans on stopping the aliens and save the town?”
“Oh he will stop the aliens all right”
“Yes” Sam yelled out as the other boys cheered.
“That’s what I’m talking about” Kyle yelled, “It looks like we were wrong about the General. Looks like he’s going to save our town after all”
Bobby couldn’t contain his happiness; he started singing his favorite Fly by Night song. Kyle soon joined in.
“I’m the happiest kid in the world to hear this. Better then winning the talent show,” Timmy said while cheering “The whole time we thought our town was going to be destroyed by aliens and the military was just going to let it happen. I feel silly now.” He laughed out loud “The military will save the day after all. All we need to do is get our families back and get everyone in town to safety. Let the military take it from there”
Sam looked over to Timmy “You got that right. Looks like everything will be alright after all” he paused for a moment “However, can’t imagine why they took our families in the first place though” Sam whispered.
Officer Reed looked over to Sam “Maybe it was a misunderstanding, lets talk to the General and find out what really happened” He pulled the police car onto the gravel and stopped next to the General’s tent, “Now how’s about you boys come with me and we’ll find your families, I’m sure there safe” he opened up door and got out the kids quickly followed behind.
The kids looked at each other, each one feeling the weight of the world off their shoulders. For the first time in a long time they could smile.
Officer Reed walked towards the front doors of the main tent as the kids quickly followed behind. They practicality pushed there way passed each other getting inside the tent looking around for there parents. The only thing they saw was the General at his desk looking over maps and a group of soldiers sitting at desk typing on laptops.
The kids looked at each other confused.
“Ok,” Kyle said “So, where’s are our parents?”
The General stood up from desks and looked down towards the kids. “Solider 45 are these the children we have been looking for?”
Officer Reed looked at the General “Yes sir, these are the kids. I knew they would go to the police station after kidnapping their families. After talking to them I’ve learned they know about the grey aliens plan to attack”.
Bobby looked over to officer Reed “Why did he call you solider 45? You’re an officer in our town. What does he mean about kidnapping are families? Where are our families anyways, I don’t see them in here?”
The General looked down to Bobby “Your family members are safe, you’ll be seeing them soon. What I want to know is what do you know about the alien plan of attack? How did you find out about it?”
Sam quickly answered “We were hiding in the forest during the night and saw you talking with the aliens after there ship landed. Now, where are our parents?”
Timmy nodded in agreement “We thought you were going to let the aliens destroy our town and you were going to collect the weapons from them to make your army stronger”
The General looked at Timmy and laughed a little “Let the aliens attack your town? Were did you get that idea? I would never let aliens attack this or any town. The whole reason why we exist is to take out the aliens and scare them off this planet forever. Our scientists believe the aliens are friendly, but I’ve always known the truth. The aliens want to take over this planet. We the military are the good guys in all this. Where not the evil ones wanting to take out all life on earth like they do, we want everyone on earth to feel safe. Today is the day we make the world secure. Were going to bring down the smaller alien ships and then go after the mother ship itself.”
Bobby looked at the General “There’s more then one alien ship? We only saw one in the forest”
The General nodded “There are countless smaller ships flying around in your skies, big enough for three aliens to be inside of, but there’s a ship out there as large as your town”
The kids looked at each other in amazement and nearly fell back in shock.
Timmy yelled out “The size of our town? Impossible. I’ve never seen anything that size above our town”
“Its massive to say the least.” The General said “All the smaller ships come and go from it. Much like how an aircraft carrier can hold many fighter jets.”
“A mother ship? This is getter wilder by the minute” Timmy said. He turned to Sam “There’s so much more to this then we could have imagined”
Sam looked back to him just as speechless. He then turned to the General. “Why can’t we see it? Something that size can’t hide behind a cloud like they do in the movies”
The General placed his hands on his hips “The aliens figured out a long time ago how to cloak and hide their ships in plain sight. They do so by reflecting light away. You could be looking right at the mother ship and not even know it. Much like you’d see in a science fiction movie where a spaceship turns invisible, but this time, its real. They could be hovering over a major city and no one would ever know”
Bobby’s eyes lit up, he couldn’t believe what he read about for so long in comic books could actually be real.
“We lea
rned a long time ago we can’t shoot down their ships with modern weapons. We tired, but there ships just absorb our bullets and missiles. It’s like shooting bullets into jelly. However, their jelly is an invisible wall that surrounds their ships. That’s why we’ll be using two new types of guns in today’s battle. The first gun will shoot an energy beam that will turn off their cloaking device making them visible to humans. The second gun will knock out the power to their ships, causing them to come crashing down. The mother ship will be taken out with the supergun. Does the same thing but on a much larger scale. The bigger the ship the bigger the gun” He walked around the room with his hands on his hips. “You see kids the aliens have been visiting us for a long time. I don’t mean decades, I mean for thousands of years. They’ve been above this town for weeks now, watching all of you”
The kids all looked at each other in amazement.
“Watching us?” Timmy called out “that’s impossible, we would’ve known”
“Even the ancient Egyptians, thousands of years ago didn’t know they were being watched. They would look up into the sky and only see the blue atmosphere, nothing else, even when the alien mother ship was right above their pyramids. Over the course of a few hundred years before the first pyramid was built aliens had met with a select few ancient Egyptians, just like how the aliens meet with our scientists today. You might ask yourself, did every ancient Egyptian know about aliens? No, just like how
