The Meeting

As I entered my Granddad’s house he seemed a little strange. He was sitting on a chair with a huge grin on his face. I went and sat in the chair next to him and he asked me “Do you believe in Aliens?” I was a bit shocked at this question but then I replied “There must be life somewhere out there but I don’t think they have ever visited Earth.” My grandpa then opened a box and said “Good answer but I can prove you wrong!” I thought he was having another one of his mad moments. His dementia was really playing up on him at the moment. But then he took out newspaper clippings, video tapes and photos. He then looked at me and announced “You may of realised I am going a bit loopy now days and it won’t be long before your farther moves me to a home but I want to tell you something while I am still sane because if I tell it to you in a few years time I doubt you will believe me.”

He then showed me a newspaper clipping from the 1970’s about a suspected alien sighting in Roswell, America. I remembered seeing something on T.V. about it a few months ago but I didn’t think much of it. He told me to read it and tell him what I thought of it while he prepares the video player. To be honest I didn’t think much of it. Then the video started playing. It was showing my Granny and Granddad in black and white when they lived on their farm in Roswell. But then it moved on. It showed a crater the size of a small car in the ground. Smoke was rising from it and then you herd metal scraping. Two things which looked like something from Dr Who appeared. At the time I was thinking what a load of rubbish but looking back at it, it seems so much more realistic.

After a while of watching the tape my Granddad stopped it and asked me “What do you think of it?” I replied

“I really don’t know but it could have been fake.” He then showed me the photos which wernt of the spaceship but they wern’t like the flying sourcers you seen in films but it was like a small pyrimid but with holes in it. The holes weren’t made from the impact when it hit the ground. At this moment in time I was getting a bit scared.

He then went on to say about how these men dressed in black came round to his house and asked him what he had saw. When he told them they sat him in a chair and told him what “he saw” trying to play tricks on his memory and told him not to tell anyone or they would hurt him and his family. Then he also went on to say that this happened to other people around the area and it’s also where the idea of the film Men in Black came from.

All this evidence was starting to make me believe that maybe we had made contact with Aliens but the C.I.A and other organisations didn’t want us to know about it. I then asked him “Why have you never told anyone before?” he looked offended and started talking gibberish about flying to Venus on a cow. If he didn’t do this then I would know we would have had a meeting with aliens but now I’m not sure and it’s one of the things which will remain a mystery for a long, long time.
