This sensational tale prompted a decidely more terrestrial invasion by self-proclaimed “UFOlogists,” whose dubious interrogations of the locals extracted many conflicting reports of activity in the same park between September 21 and October 28. These reports saw the addition of a squat robot sidekick to the towering spacemen, resembling a headless box with many knobs and twitching fingers. One witness even claimed to have seen the child-hating giants activate a prone robot with what appeared to be “mouth to mouth.” It’s good to know that even advanced spacefaring civilizations still need to blow into the cartridge every now and then.
