Alien Ship Found

“Alien Ship Found!”

Authorities recovered the bodies of 25 aliens. The ship is in perfect condition and all instruments appear to be working. Experts from all over the country have come to examine the remains and comb the ship for clues to the origin.

“This could provide many of the answers we’ve been looking for.” Dr. Lansdowne commented at the news conference.

No one is sure what caused the death of the aliens. None of them appear to have been guiding the ship, which indicates that other aliens probably escaped and are hiding among the local population. Residents are advised to report any unusual events or activities to the police immediately.

“There is a good chance that survivors could pass on infections.”

When asked for comment the president replied, “I will wait for the official report before making any judgment.”

Those in charge refuse to speculate on what this amazing discovery means. Are there more of these ships out there waiting to land? Will we see an invasion of these aliens?

Residents are understandably panicked by these events.

We were able to speak with some of the investigators on the condition of anonymity. They feel they have solved what happened and want the public to know the truth.

The ship originated in the Chinese province of Fujian. The dead aliens are probably all Chinese nationals trying to escape to what they thought was a better life. They appear to have died of carbon monoxide poisoning while sitting in the hold of the ship. The ship operators likely fled the scene when they saw the bodies below.
