Dude, Where’s My Spaceship?

February 18-26

It’s a week of sightings, abductions and close encounters of the extra-terrestrial kind.

Traveling at the speed of light from a distant galaxy, Code-E the Alien has been sent by his planet’s Supreme Being to study aspects of planet Earth. While on a probe for specimens, Code-E’s spaceship mysteriously vanishes. Could it be that men in black have captured the craft as part of a government conspiracy and ensuing cover-up or has absent-minded Code-E simply forgotten where he parked it? It is a case involving national security that needs to be solved at warp speed!
