Since We Last Met

Well, let’s see where do I start? Forbes Magazine has once again

named Bill Gates the richest man around, Mike Tyson invented a new style

of boxing he could really sink his teeth into, Apple Computer threw another

ship’s captain over the side, Intel stock jumped 58%, the 30th anniversary

of John Coltrane’s death, and the 50th anniversary of what the government

affectionately refers to as”The Roswell Incident”. Wait!!! This just in from

our reporter out in the field (Marvin Floyd, mfloyd©dbintellect.com):

MARS AIR FORCE DENIES STORIES OF UFO CRASH

Date:

7/11/97 3:41 PM

Valles Marineris (MPI) - A spokesthing for Mars Air Force denounced as

false rumors that an alien space craft crashed in the desert, outside of Ares

Vallis on Friday. Appearing at a press conference today, General Rgrmrmy

The Lesser, stated that “the object was, in fact, a harmless high-altitude

weather balloon, not an alien spacecraft”.

The story broke late Friday night when a major stationed at nearby Ares

Vallis Air Force Base contacted the Valles Marineris Daily Record with a

story about a strange, balloon-shaped object which allegedly came down in

the nearby desert, “bouncing” several times before coming to a stop,

“deflating in a sudden explosion of alien gases”. Minutes later, General

Rgrmrmy The Lesser contacted the Daily Record telepathically to contra-

dict the earlier report.

General Rgrmrmy The Lesser stated that hysterical stories of a detachable

vehicle roaming across the Martian desert were blatant fiction, provoked by

incidences involving swamp gas. But the general public has been slow to

accept the Air Force’s explanation of recent events, preferring to speculate

on the “other-worldly” nature of the crash debris. Conspiracy theorists have

condemned Rgrmrmy’s statements as evidence of “an obvious government

cover-up”, pointing out that Mars has no swamps.
