Once in a millennium, a miraculous event occurs that changes our lives forever. For me, it all started one brilliant summer night when I witnessed a fiery orange ball falling from the heavens, crashing behind my grandmother's barn. That night I saved the life of an alien who was so charming and captivating. I must tell this story that is as real as you and me. However, how it all occurred is a secret known only to my grandmother, my wife, and me. The first thing I noticed about him was that he was tall and muscular. He wore a soft outer suit that resembled pajamas. Around his waist was a belt with blinking lights and buttons. When he tried to speak, it resembled the screech of an eagle so loud it hurt my ears. I watched as the alien adjusted his belt that went through a litany of languages, stopping at English. From our first hello and handshake, we became best friends. He confided in me one night that he must return to his planet to save his wife and children from slavery. Our adventures began from that moment, planned, schemed, and threatened those that would interfere with our mission. We sat around the large kitchen table and discussed in detail what would be needed to send Mars Starwalker back to his planet: the development of a subterfuge that would hide our real intent. Lots of money would be needed. The technical specifications of building a suitable spacecraft would be left to Mars.
