Truck Stop

“Ready, Annie. O.K., 3, 2, 1, and we’re live!”

“Anne Gibbons here reporting for News Center 8. The truck behind me crashed just outside of the Muncie city limits and caught fire, shooting flames more than 15 feet into the air. Muncie locals claim that a low flying goverment craft or UFO ended up crushed and charred in a shallow ditch partially underneath the truck, appearing and reappearing as if it were equipped with some sort of cloaking mechanism.

According to local sources, the ground near the crash site was scorched, and blackened debris with strange symbols littered the road. The crash knocked down several trees and cut phone service to most of Muncie, Indiana. With me today is Ryan Lambert, the truck driver involved in the crash. Mr. Lambert, can you tell us what you saw?”

“Well, when them boys from the motel pulled me out, I thought I hit a deer ‘er somethin’. When I looked under the truck, I seen some sorta spaceship that just kept disappearin’ and stuff. The rest of ‘em seen it too.”
