The task force was on high alert. They had heard from a reliable source that aliens were on the ground

An Air Force fighter jet had fired on a sphere-like object and had reported it as downed

The burning hole in the farmer’s pasture revealed little more than bits of an unknown metal and an empty can of Spam

However, multiple large three toed unidentified tracks led away from the smoldering site and strange ghost-like images could be seen on the farmer’s game cam

Also missing was the broken down, rusted through, and tire-less 1998 Dodge Durango that hadn’t run in years

The very skeptical sheriff dismissed the old missing car story as more hysteria from too much TV about the final frontiers

But a deputy on patrol stated he’s seen an old Durango in the parking lot of the local Walmart

So the G-men assigned to the case set up a stakeout in an unmarked van with one of the team hovering near the Durango pushing a shopping cart

The task force was excited as Congress had heard testimony from both military and civilian pilots on many alien encounters

A chance to capture or at least photograph one of these creatures should quiet most of the doubters

Breathlessly watching, a window on the Durango was cranked down and a skinny limb protruded with a tiny object aimed at arriving Walmart guests

The usual customers were arriving in typical Walmart fashion of various forms of disheveled undress

The skinny limb withdrew back into the car and within seconds the doors opened and out stepped the objects of this pursuit

The video cameras suddenly stopped as the task force realized they were filming an overweight woman in her housecoat and slippers, three unruly kids, and some frazzled looking old coot

“Do you suppose those are aliens?” asked one the Special Agents

“Let’s follow them in and see what happens before any engagement”

Swiftly the four member FBI task force descended on the store entrance and quickly shushed the greeter

And to their horror discovered the store was filled with old coots, overweight women, unruly kids and one guy they recognized as a wife beater

Retreating back to their van, the task force ascertained they’ll need to re-evaluate their game plan

Content in the knowledge that sitting in a Walmart parking lot was far better than being televised lying to Congress on CSPAN
